Gethsemane Blues

Gethsemane Blues (Luke 22:42)

I’ve been praying for the strength to do the things I know are right
It’s getting’ heavy
This cup that I must drink tonight
I hear the whispers
They say a friend of mine will turn me in
Under the pressure I feel the ocean water crashing in
If there’s any way around it
Do you think maybe this time we could let it pass?


I’ll face tomorrow
You lead, I’ll follow
And I’ll walk this road alone
I’ll go through it
Your will be done


My boys are sleeping,
They couldn’t stay awake to watch my back
The shadow’s creeping
Seems to me even the moonlight’s turning black
Even the angels
They couldn’t hold the tide against the flood
Stinging raindrops
I think my sweat and tears have turned to blood
But if there’s any way around it
Do you think maybe this time we could let it pass?

I’ll face tomorrow
You lead, I’ll follow
And I’ll walk this road alone
I’ll go through it
Your will be done
