about

A thoughtful look at Jesus' prayer in the garden from John 17.

lyrics

They climbed the hill, to Gethsemane,
He went a little further still, and fell down on His knees,
Sweat drops of blood, and His agonized pleas,
Father take this cup, but if it must, may it be,
His thoughts turned to His friends, though they were all asleep,
"Father keep them in Your truth, and give them unity,"
Then He looked beyond those years, He prayed so selflessly,
For all those who would believe, and He prayed for me,
He prayed for me!

And as the blood flowed from His pores onto the ground below, oh such agony,
He looked beyond Himself, beyond the pain, beyond His death, and He prayed for me,
Before I ever took a step or ever spoke a word, before I even breathed,
The Holy Son of God walked perfectly and used His last breaths, to pray for me, He prayed for me!

They say the prayers of a righteous man, bear much fruit,
They say that prayer is a powerful thing, and I hope it's true,
Because there was only one man, in all of history,
Who had the very power and righteousness of God above,
And he prayed for me, He prayed for me!

And as the hour of death grew near and darkness filled the skies, oh how can it be?
The selfless savior gave His body as a sacrifice, and He died for me,
And even now when skies grow dark and words are hard to find, I have a great high priest,
Who hears my broken cries and knows the pain I can't express, and He prays for me, He prays for me!

I pray not just for these, but for all who will believe,
That together they may be, just as you are in me,
And I in you in they in us, bound in endless love,
Father keep them till that day, these things I pray,
These things I pray, these things I pray...
