IN THE GARDEN (GETHSEMANE)

In the garden/ Gethsemane

He prepared for Calvary

Where He would suffer—in agony—for us all

In the garden/ while disciples slept

Jesus prayed and Jesus wept

Great drops of blood/ mixed with His sweat—from His brow would fall—would fall

CHORUS

Father let this cup pass from me

But not my will but thine

I will obey what you say

For your will is mine

-------------------------

In the garden/ by dark of night

They took Him by strength of might

He would not let His disciples fight---for He knew

This was the way/ that it had to be

He must die on Calvary

To pay our price/ to set us free---this thing He must do--- must do

REPEAT CHORUS

In the garden/ He was betrayed

By a kiss that Judas made

Thirty pieces of silver was paid---for God's Son

The price was small/ but the cost was high

Son of God for man would die

Paid our ransom/so by and by---to Him we could come---could come

REPEAT CHORUS
