Gethsemane (I Only Wanted To Say)

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 know, I'd want to know, my God

Want to see, I'd want to see, my God

Want to see, I'd want to see, my God

Why I should die, would I be more noticed that I ever was before?

Would the things I've said and done matter anymore?

I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord

Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord

If I die, what will be my reward? If I die, what will be my reward?

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord

Why, why should I die? Oh, 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 your wantin' me to die

Far too 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

In-, 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 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
