Lyrics
Ooooooooooooh!
One quiet night in Gethsemane,
The friends of Christ were in peaceful sleep,
And in the distance all alone
calls out the Lord Gods only Son
While on his knees, he laid his face,
His Holy face, on the damped earth
And with a groaning, prayerful soul
Slumbering silences echoes roll,
"O may this cup, this heavenly cup
of bitterness pass from me."
"But not my will be done O God,
Your will be done. Now I shall go"
Soon seat was dripping from his face
like drops of blood down from the cross.
An angel of heaven was Standing by,
To guard this man, soon the
CRUCIFIED
Ooooooooooooh!
