The Cross in the Garden Songtext
von Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

There′s a home beyond the river
Where the saints shall live forever
In a home, that blessed home of the free
T'was prepared for habitation
At the end of our salvation
Through the cross that stood on dark Calvary


Jesus went into the garden
And he prayed unto the Father
Oh my God, let this cup pass from me
The disciples all were sleeping
While the son of God was weeping
In the garden of Gethsemane
In a garden close to Heaven
All our sins were then forgiven
When our Saviour redeemed us from loss
Our dear Lord in pain and sorrow
Gave us all our hope tomorrow
Dying there upon the old rugged cross

Jesus went into the garden
And he prayed unto the Father
Oh my God, let this cup pass from me
The disciples all were sleeping
While the son of God was weeping
In the garden of Gethsemane
Tears of anguish mark the ending
Of a life of service sending
Hope to every soul trusting His love
Dying there in isolation
Jesus gave the consolation
That we′ll meet him in those mansions above


Jesus went into the garden
And he prayed unto the Father
Oh my God, let this cup pass from me
The disciples all were sleeping
While the son of God was weeping
In the garden of Gethsemane
