lyrics

In dark gethsemane
Where trees of olive grieve
Jesus prays and weeps and pleads
“May this cup pass over Me”

In the stillness of the night
The disciples close their eyes
While on watch they could not keep
The spirit’s strong, flesh is weak (Chorus)

(Chorus)
O Savior of the earth
You came down in humble birth
From glory everlasting
to flesh and dust and dying
O Savior of the world
You willingly endured
Our pain, our grief, our sorrows deep
For healing peace to bring

In an olive grove of fear
A burdened lover kneels
Passion shown with drops of blood
Pouring out in anxious love

In a garden dark now filled
His friend now climbs the hill
With a kiss the Christ betrayed
He now marches to the grave (Chorus)

'In this garden of our tears
We await the end of years
When a Savior bathed in light
Will restore this world from night.'
