In the Garden of Gethesemane
Down on His knees in prayer
He prayed this cup be passed from Him
These burdens hard to bear

But not my will be done today
For this I freely came
That sinners may be saved by grace
By the power of my name

It is written..Upon this stone
He sweat great drops of blood
From torment in His spirit
To the healing in this flood

As disciples did lay sleeping
He spent the night in prayer
Father please protect them
And keep them in your care

Even though He knew
What pain did lie ahead
Father please forgive them
Upon the cross He said

When soldiers came to take Him
He didn't try to resist
Our precious Lord and Savior
Betrayed by Judas' kiss

The time had come for Jesus
To cast off doubt and fear
Still thinking only of others
He healed the soldier's ear

Sometimes we too must go
Into the Garden alone
The pain we feel too deep
And we can only groan

Yet the Father hears us
As we begin to cry
He sent His only begotten Son
It's for us that He did die

So learn this now from Jesus
As this life you do pass through
Thinking more of others
Than you do of you
