Lyrics

"Go into the city to such a man, tell him my time is at hand
I’ll keep the Passover in your room." Is the night, a night of gloom?
Peter, James, John & Andrew, Judas Iscariot,
Simon and Jude
– all the twelve did go
He gave them the word but they did not hear.
He even told them that His death was near
– but they did not know

He was in their midst, for a short time, and He shined so bright
The last supper with His friends, He poured His life out on that night

He broke the bread and He gave the wine, His last drink of the fruit of the vine
He dipped the sop and revealed the one, who would betray Him; perdition’s son
"What you do, do quickly now."
He slipped into the shadows with thoughts of how
– they would capture Him
"You will be offended in me this night.
They’ll smite the Shepherd and you’ll run with fright
– you’ll deny you know me"

What would the prince of darkness do, if with his evil plot he knew
That killing off the Pascal Lamb would help fulfill the Father's plan

The garden of Gethsemane, He asked the Father, "Could this pass from me?"
Sweating blood and in agony, he there decided, "… not I, but thee."
"Could you not stay awake one hour?"
They came to take Him and He spoke with power
– He said, "I am He."
Judas kissed the Master and betrayed Him.
Thirty silver pieces for His light to dim
– and they took Him away
