**********

Chorus

We praise you Lord, your passion we recall

You died and rose again, for one and all

 

There in the garden, dark Gethsemane

You prayed and pleaded to Father for me - Chorus

 

There for me you sweat blood in agony

That mankind be redeemed, and so set free - Chorus

 

Your Father\'s will you sought and not your own

Your love, obedience there to Him shown - Chorus

 

Let pass this cup of suffering if you will

Father, but I desire what you will still - Chorus

 

Through depths of pain, griefs, sorrows you did know

Way to forgiveness and new life did show - Chorus

 

So strengthened there by angel, garden prayer

Nothing did halt you, you our sins did bear - Chorus

 

Onwards to cross, you gave your life for all

That all may be saved, whoe\'er on you do call - Chorus

 

Cross not the end, for glorious you did rise

You in our hearts, e\'en though you fill all skies - Chorus

 

Grant us our cross to here daily uptake

Denying self, and living for your sake - Chorus

 

Heal us and comfort, ever may we see

Cross before crown, working redemptively - Chorus
