Celebrating Jesus Love Band - On The Night I Went to Gethsemane Lyrics

On the night I went to Gethsemane
I took Peter, James, and John with me
As I prayed, with tears and wept
My friends were tired, so they slept
Could you not wait with me one hour
As I was seeking for the power
To lay my life down for you
My battle's almost done, This is the final one

When Peter woke, he took a stand, and
With the sword cut the ear off a man
Judas came to point me out
Disciples fled as I looked about
Could you not wait with me one night
As I was left alone to fight
Three times Peter me denied
The Rooster crowed, Peter cried

Took me then to Pilates court, HE asked was I their Lord
Said it's as you say, but my kingdom comes another day
He gave a choice, Barabas or me
But the people shouted, set Barabas free
Now can you wait for me three days
Nailed to the cross, life ebbs away
But, the love I had is here to stay
Father forgive them, I did pray

The wounds I got they were for you
So by my stripes your are healed too
Three days I spent down in the deep
Now the keys to death and hell I keep
Now I Am here in your trials hour
IN your hearts I'll be your power
With my spirit, in you reside
I'll never forsake or leave your side
Day by day, hour by hour
In your heart I'll be your power
