I only want to say (gethsemane)

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 see, i'd want to see, my god,

Why i should die.

Would i be more noticed

Then i ever was before?

Would the things that i've said and done

Matter any more?

I have to know, i have to know my lord

I'd have to see, i'd have to see, my lord

If i die, what will be my reward?

I'd have to know, i'd have to know my lord

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 you wanting me to die

You're far to keen on where and how

But not so hot on why

Alright!

I'll die! - oh!

Just watch me die!

See how, see how i die!

Oh! Just watch me die!

Then, i was inspired.

Now, i'm sad and tired.

After all, i've tried for three years

Seems like ninety.

Why then am i scared to finish

What i've started....

What you started

I didn't start it!

God! Thy will is hard,

But you hold every card.

I will drink your cup of poison!

Nail me to your cross and break me!

Bleed me, beat me, kill me!

Take me now..before i change my mind.
