[ti:Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say) ]
[00:00.80]  [00:00.00]the garden at Gethesmane]
[00:01.81]   
[00:02.22]   (Jesus)
[00:06.23]   I only want to say
[00:12.83]   If there is a way
[00:18.57]   Take this cup away from me
[00:23.86]   For I don't want to taste its poison
[00:30.57]   Feel it burn me,
[00:33.67]   I have changed I'm not as sure
[00:37.85]   As when we started
[00:41.51]   Then I was inspired
[00:47.10]   Now I'm sad and tired
[00:52.90]   Listen surely I've exceeded
[00:58.85]   Expectations
[01:01.29]   Tried for three years
[01:04.29]   Seems like thirty
[01:07.14]   Could you ask as much
[01:10.54]   From any other man?
[01:14.97]   
[01:14.95]   But if I die
[01:20.29]   See the saga through
[01:22.42]   And do the things you ask of me
[01:25.22]   Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me
[01:28.90]   Nail me to their tree
[01:31.38]   I'd want to know
[01:32.24]   I'd want to know my God
[01:34.07]   I'd want to know
[01:34.88]   I'd want to know my God
[01:36.61]   I'd want to see
[01:37.42]   I'd want to see my God
[01:39.35]   I'd want to see
[01:40.21]   I'd want to see my God
[01:42.25]   Why I should die
[01:47.68]   Would I be more noticed
[01:49.72]   Than I ever was before?
[01:53.12]   Would the things I've said and done
[01:55.77]   Matter any more?
[01:58.66]   I'd have to know
[01:59.48]   I'd have to know my Lord
[02:01.46]   I'd have to know
[02:02.27]   I'd have to know my Lord
[02:04.20]   I'd have to see
[02:04.97]   I'd have to see my Lord
[02:06.95]   I'd have to see
[02:07.76]   I'd have to see my Lord
[02:09.44]   
[02:09.69]   If I die what will be my reward?
[02:12.28]   If I die what will be my reward?
[02:14.93]   I'd have to know
[02:15.84]   I'd have to know my Lord
[02:17.67]   I'd have to know
[02:18.59]   I'd have to know my Lord
[02:20.22]   
[02:20.93]   Why should I die?
[02:31.20]   Can you show me now
[02:33.34]   That I would not be killed in vain?
[02:36.64]   Show me just a little
[02:39.03]   Of your omnipresent brain
[02:42.08]   Show me there's a reason
[02:44.62]   For your wanting me to die
[02:47.52]   You're far too keen on where and how
[02:50.63]   But not so hot on why
[02:54.07]   Alright I'll die!
[02:59.61]   Just watch me die!
[03:05.43]   See how I die!
[03:10.92]   See how I die!
[03:37.10]   
[03:45.84]   Then I was inspired
[03:52.25]   Now I'm sad and tired
[03:58.91]   After all I've tried for three years
[04:05.32]   Seems like ninety
[04:08.57]   Why then am I scared
[04:12.79]   To finish what I started
[04:17.98]   What you started
[04:21.07]   I didn't start it
[04:23.51]   God thy will is hard
[04:29.86]   But you hold every card
[04:35.76]   I will drink your cup of poison
[04:42.57]   Nail me to your cross and break me
[04:48.41]   Bleed me, beat me
[04:51.19]   Kill me, take me now
[04:55.27]   Before I change my mind
[05:01.07] Now before I change my mind
