Gethsemane (I Only Wanted to Say)

[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 wanna know, I'd wanna know, my God

I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know, my God

I'd wanna see, I'd wanna see, my God

I'd wanna see, I'd wanna 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 anymore?

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 would be my reward?

If I die, what would be my reward?

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

I'd 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 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
