Gethsemane (I Only Want 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 than I ever was before

Would the things I've said and done matter any more

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

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

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

I'd 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 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 you wanting me to die

You're far too keen on "where" and "how"

But not so hot on "why"

Alright, I'll die

Just watch me die

See how I die

See how I die

Oh watch me die, oh 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 started?

What you started; I didn't start it

God, thy will be done

Destroy your only son

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

Now, before I change my mind
