Lyrics
GETHSEMANE
Verse 1
Days numbered in the cistern
Counted among the dead.
Sapped of strength, scorn
Heaped heavy on my head.
Bridge 1
And now…
All the failure all the blame,
What can wash away such shame?
A tortured soul’s confession
This plea for intercession.
Chorus 1:
Cast out from the Land
Exiled from my friends
Crying out day & night
Reaching out for rescue
Are wonders revealed to the dead,
Can my spirit rise up in joy?
Is love declared to the grave?
Hope embers in the ashes.
Verse 2
Adrift within the maelstrom,
My soul cast away.
Overwhelmed, forgotten,
Despair on breaking waves.
Bridge 2
And there...
Kneeling in the garden
Praying for a pardon
Crying for petition
Seeking out redemption
Chorus 2:
Cast out from the Land
Exiled from my friends
Crying out day & night
Reaching out for rescue
Are wonders revealed to the dead,
Can my spirit rise up to joy?
Is love declared to the grave?
Hope embers in the ashes.
Verse 3
Afflicted by your wrath,
I can’t defend
Terror surrounds me as a flood,
Deep darkness my only friend
Chorus 3:
Are wonders revealed to the dead,
Can my spirit rise up to joy?
Love’s declaration,
Hope embers in the ashes.
Embers in the ashes…
This is love’s declaration
Can you see
The embers in the ashes?
Are wonders revealed?
Will my spirit arise?
At love’s declaration…
