Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)

I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don't want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me, I have changed
I'm not as sure as when we started
Then I was inspired now I'm sad and tired
Listen surely I've exceeded expectations
Tried for three years seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man
But if I die see the saga through
And do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me hit me hurt me nail me to their tree
I'd want to know I'd want to know my God
I'd want to know I'd want to know my God
Want to see I'd want to see my God
Want to see I'd want to see my God why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before
Would the things I've said and done matter any more
I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord
I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord
If I die what will be my reward
If I die what will be my reward
Have to know I'd have to know my Lord
Have to know I'd have to know my Lord
Why should I die
Oh why should I die
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for you wanting me to die
You're far too keen on "where" and "how"
But not so hot on "why"
Alright, I'll die
Just watch me die
See how I die
See how I die
Oh watch me die, oh watch me die
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years, seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started?
What you started; I didn't start it
God, thy will be done
Destroy your only son
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me
Now, before I change my mind
Now, before I change my mind
