Gethsemane
It's "not my will but thine," He
said.
Yes, "not my will but thine"
instead.
While doing not His favorite
thing,
He knows because of Him we'll
sing.
Because He said "Okay, I'll go,"
Though "not my will but thine," I
know
That now throughout eternity,
We'll always have the chance to
see
The sacrifice He made for all
Though not His choice He took the
fall.
For all of us He bore the cross;
Because of Him there'll be no
loss.
Although we may not want to do
What's necessary, we'll come
through.
Before His love we were not worth
The causes for His special birth.
Until that day at Calvary,
When Jesus died for you and me.
The pain that He chose to endure
Insures our place forevermore.
Because for us He did abide,
And now we have Him on our side.
So now, you see, what you don't
like
May be your passage to what's
right.
So grit your teeth and pray you'll
fare
What is unwanted—hey, you'll bear.
