[In the garden at Gethesmane]



(Jesus)

I only want to say

If there is a way

Take this cup away from me

For I don't want to taste its poison

Feel it burn me,

I have changed I'm not as sure

As when we started

Then I was inspired

Now I'm sad and tired

Listen surely I've exceeded

Expectations

Tried for three years

Seems like thirty

Could you ask as much

>From any other man?



But if I die

See the saga through

And do the things you ask of me

Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me

Nail me to their tree

I'd want to know

I'd want to know my God

I'd want to know

I'd want to know my God

I'd want to see

I'd want to see my God

I'd want to see

I'd want to see my God

Why I should die

Would I be more noticed

Than I ever was before?

Would the things I've said and done

Matter any more?

I'd have to know

I'd have to know my Lord

I'd have to know

I'd have to know my Lord

I'd have to see

I'd have to see my Lord

I'd have to see

I'd have to see my Lord



If I die what will be my reward?

If I die what will be my reward?

I'd have to know

I'd have to know my Lord

I'd have to know

I'd have to know my Lord



Why, why should I die?

Oh, why should I die?

Can you show me now

That I would not be killed in vain?

Show me just a little

Of your omnipresent brain

Show me there's a reason

For your wanting me to die

You're far too keen on where and how

But not so hot on why

Alright I'll die!

Just watch me die!

See how, see how I die!

Oh, just watch me die!-acapo
