Take - The Agony in Gethsemane

As we prepare for an absolutely incredible celebration on Sunday, I feel it is SO vital that we remember the AWFUL hours that lead to the eventual death of our Redeemer. His humanity. His agony. As horrifying as it was, the physical pain was outweighed by the wrath of God that He willingly took in our place. Take a few moments, take a deep breath, and remember.
LYRICS:
It is My hour to fulfill or all hope will be lost
The time is near, its coming soon to bear that wretched cross
Before I tread that road alone, I come to you and pray
My soul is swallowed up in sorrow, Hear Your Son this day
Oh hear Your Son I pray
FATHER IT’S ALMOST TIME. I KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE.
THE AGONY OF THORNS AND NAILS,
IS FAR OUTWEIGHED BY THE WRATH I’LL BEAR
IF THERE IS ANOTHER WAY, HEAR MY FINAL PLEA
FATHER, HOLY FATHER, JUST TAKE IT, OH TAKE THIS CUP FROM ME.
I love them more than words express, but hearts of flesh are weak
Even as I mourn this night, they all lay asleep
And so its here I bow alone, sweating drops of blood
Tears of grief rob the air I breathe, Hear Your Son this day,
Oh hear Your Son I pray
FATHER IT’S ALMOST TIME. I KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE.
THE AGONY OF THORNS AND NAILS,
IS FAR OUTWEIGHED BY THE WRATH I’LL BEAR
IF YOUR WILL IS TO BE DONE, TO POUR IT ALL ON YOUR SON
I’LL TAKE IT, I’LL TAKE THIS CUP ON ME
There is no other way, but for me to bear the pain
By this we show, We love them so
There is no other way, but for me to wear their shame
By this they’ll know, We love them so
IT’S ALMOST TIME. I KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE.
THE AGONY OF THORNS AND NAILS,
IS FAR OUTWEIGHED BY THE WRATH I’LL BEAR
NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE, SO POUR IT ALL ON YOUR SON
I’LL TAKE IT
