Lyrics
1) One night in a garden, our dear Lord prayed
And wept tears of sorrow for mankind's mistakes
He suffered alone, for His friends were asleep
For no one knew the pain that He'd meet
OH FATHER IN HEAVEN, LET THIS CUP PASS ME BY
(My Father above...take this cup from me)
OUR DEAR LORD CRIED
(For my heart is breaking)
STILL LET IT BE AS YOU WOULD HAVE IT, NOT AS I
(Thy will be done, on heaven and earth, not as I)
2) An angel came to strengthen Him
To calm and soothe His fears within
But sweat as drops of blood ran down
And fell beside Him on the ground
3) And so began Christ's final days
When through His passion He would be raised
He'd fulfill the scriptures and die on the cross
To save the souls that would have been lost
