Gethsemane Video (MV)

Iesus Christus
Tristis ad mortem
Sanguis cadit
A capite Tuo

He went down to pray,
"Let this pass from Me."
The cup of God's wrath
Is tilted to pour

They all said they won't deny Him
They all said they'd give their lives
But then He prayed, and He came back to them
His best friends lay fast asleep

It was clear
That He must be
The spotless, chosen Lamb
To die for this wretched race

"Father, Your will be done
If I must drink this cup."

Iesus Christus,
Tristis ad mortem
Sanguis cadit
A capite Tuo

He stood alone
Praying for us
Intercessor, He loved us to death

After He woke them
He asked them that they'd stay up with Him
"Don't enter temptation. Watch and pray that you may stand
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak and failing."

Then He went
A second time to ask the Father
That He may be spared
But still knew that the cup must be drunk

The cup of God's wrath is tilted to pour
Will it be Him or the whole of this wretched race?

Their sin so great
To give life freely, there must be payment
Love so vast
His church to buy is chosen to last

"Glorify your Son that He
May glorify You with those You've saved
And this is the eternal life
To know You, the true God, and Me, whom You sent
Sanctify them and protect them from the Evil One
You have sent Me, so I send them out into the world
And for their sake, I give Myself that they may be changed
To bear Your image and Your love, that We may live within them
To know Your name, to know Your love, just as You know Me."

Then He rose and knew He'd be the one
To drink the cup of God's wrath
To die like human scum
He will suffer

"See the hour is at hand
The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners
Rise, let us be going
See, my betrayer is at hand."
