My Gethsemane

Verse 1

I went to a garden today
And found Jesus there,
On His knees among the shadows,
Lifting up a prayer.

Asking His Father to keep me,
To watch over my way,
I saw tears upon His face,
As salvation called His name.

Pre-Chorus

And as I saw His sorrow,
Who am I to hide my pain?
When others mock or wound me,
He has walked that road the same.

Chorus

He chooses to stay and not to leave,
He loves without limit and holds out His hand.
In the quietness of my Gethsemane,
He helps me stand.

He chooses to stay and not to leave,
When the night is long and I don't understand.
In the quietness of my Gethsemane,
He helps me stand.

Verse 2

I went to heaven today
And found Jesus there,
Glorified and radiant,
Yet He drew me near.

I brought Him all my sorrow,
Every wound and every fear,
And He listened through my mourning,
For He understands my tears.

Pre-Chorus

As I remember His sorrow,
I know He welcomes mine.
The Man of grief and mercy
Meets me every time.

Chorus

He chooses to stay and not to leave,
He loves without limit and holds out His hand.
In the quietness of my Gethsemane,
He helps me stand.

He chooses to stay and not to leave,
When the night is long and I don't understand.
In the quietness of my Gethsemane,
He helps me stand.

Bridge

In His garden He stood for me,
Though the cup was hard to bear.
Now in my own garden of sorrow,
I find that He is there.

Not far away in glory,
Not distant from my cry,
The One who prayed in Gethsemane
Still walks with me tonight.

Final Chorus

He chooses to stay and not to leave,
He loves without limit and holds out His hand.
In the quietness of my Gethsemane,
He helps me stand.

And when my strength is fading,
And I can barely stand,
In the quietness of my Gethsemane,
He helps me stand.
