Gethsemane

Overcome by the night
The grief dims my eyes
I see a man in a garden lie
Overcome by the night

Why are you so far away
So far from my pain
Overwhelmed by the sorrow
Was ever a moment so severe
This cup you would bear
Overwhelmed by the sorrow
Lions would open up their mouths
Tearing their prey
Overwhelmed by the sorrow

When you set the Earth's foundations
And marked the heavens by your hand
To be known even then
To be with you there
As you bore the garden's pain

They would look at you and stare
Shaking their heads
Overwhelmed by the sorrow
The ones you loved would leave your side
The dark your only friend
Overwhelmed by the sorrow

What kind of love endures this pain
The darkest night to prepare my place
The ages speak your thought of me
Past heaven's reach, the love of The Father
My Beautiful Father
