Gethsemane (Heavy Load to Carry)
by Caroline Cobb

Album: The Blood and The Breath - Songs That Tell the Story of Redemption

Verse 1
I climbed a mountain with three friends
I feel the darkness pressing in
I ask them to please stay awake
And I go off alone to pray

Chorus
Father, please would You take this cup?
It's a heavy load to carry
But not My will, but what You want
Until I'm dead and buried

Verse 2
Sweat and blood they fall like tears
It seems the last star's disappeared
And death it comes to separate
And my friends can't stay awake

Chorus
Father, please would You take this cup?
It's a heavy load to carry
But not My will, but what You want
Until I'm dead and buried

Verse 3
They came with clubs to capture Me
An old friend he kissed My cheek
And all My friends they ran away
And I'm alone, denied, betrayed

Chorus
Father, please would You take this cup?
It's a heavy load to carry
But not My will, but what You want
Until I'm dead and buried

Verse 4
My God, my God's forsaken me
I'm hanging broken on a tree
"Who can save You now?" they laugh
The darkness comes, I breathe my last
