Gethsemane

Listen to Scripture in song, or read the Bible and discover songs from it.

Verse 1

Gethsemane, oh Gethsemane

If I could choose, You’d be far from me

You taunt me now — but soon I’ll be free

And all my anguish — just a memory

Verse 2

Father, I’m so alone Matthew 26:38

My soul aches with sorrow Matthew 26:38

In this dark, cold shame

Even my helpers cannot comfort me Mark 14:50

Take this cup from me Matthew 26:39

Take away this coming hour Mark 14:35

Abba Father — everything is possible for You Mark 14:36

Chorus 1

Gethsemane, oh Gethsemane

You’ve quieted me now — but soon you’ll be

Full of hatred and wicked enemies Luke 22:52-53

Who come to kill — so mercilessly Luke 22:53

Verse 3

I know that You sent me to conquer death Hebrews 2:14

And suffer the curse of darkness Galatians 3:13

To fulfil Scripture Matthew 26:54

I must be betrayed into the hands of sinners Mark 14:41

Knowing this — I still submit Luke 22:42

To Your good and perfect will Luke 22:42

Chorus 2

The time has come — oh Gethsemane Mark 14:41

Let us arise — my betrayer’s near Matthew 26:46

Within just a kiss — they will capture me Luke 22:47-48

And so commence — my boundless victory John 16:33
