In Memory of Me
From the Jordan River
He walked the desert plain
Scorched in the sunshine
He felt the novacaine
Sweat on his temples
Living words for grain
No one to talk to
For forty days of pain
The devil came to Him, looked at the desert stone
Drink up your providence, and make your bread alone
I'll give you power, and kingdoms in your hand
Jump from this tower, your word is their command
God's will, it shall be done
I am His only son
What's the world to a man who's lost his soul
What's a life without a hand to hold
The spirit is strong, but still the flesh is weak
Take this cup in memory of me
Highest Hosanna, how bitter the end will come
Bludgeoned and brutalized, to wash all the sins to come
"If it be possible, to let this cup pass me by"
Alone in the garden, for an hour he wept and cried
Another Pharisee, shrouded in ill-intent
Must we pay Caesar, a Gentile we resent
You great blasphemer, you can't forgive like God
You cursed the Temple, to break into sand 'n' sod
Render what's his to he
The Temple will rise with me
What's the world to a man who's lost his soul
What's a life without a hand to hold
The spirit is strong, but still the flesh is weak
Take this cup in memory of me
Peter denied him, Judas sold off his prize
Some bore false witness, though he did not reply
They freed a murderer, and sent him off to death
To fulfill the scriptures, he gave all he had left
The crowds exclaiming, to crucify and kill
The Roman soldiers, scoffed at him everstill
You're really something, convicted without a crime
You won't defend yourself, your blood is clean of mine
I'm who you say I am
Witness the son of man
What's the world to a man who's lost his soul
What's a life without a hand to hold
The spirit is strong, but still the flesh is weak
Take this cup in memory of me
He walked the desert plain
Scorched in the sunshine
He felt the novacaine
Sweat on his temples
Living words for grain
No one to talk to
For forty days of pain
The devil came to Him, looked at the desert stone
Drink up your providence, and make your bread alone
I'll give you power, and kingdoms in your hand
Jump from this tower, your word is their command
God's will, it shall be done
I am His only son
What's the world to a man who's lost his soul
What's a life without a hand to hold
The spirit is strong, but still the flesh is weak
Take this cup in memory of me
Highest Hosanna, how bitter the end will come
Bludgeoned and brutalized, to wash all the sins to come
"If it be possible, to let this cup pass me by"
Alone in the garden, for an hour he wept and cried
Another Pharisee, shrouded in ill-intent
Must we pay Caesar, a Gentile we resent
You great blasphemer, you can't forgive like God
You cursed the Temple, to break into sand 'n' sod
Render what's his to he

What's the world to a man who's lost his soul
What's a life without a hand to hold
The spirit is strong, but still the flesh is weak
Take this cup in memory of me

What's the world to a man who's lost his soul
What's a life without a hand to hold
The spirit is strong, but still the flesh is weak
Take this cup in memory of me
