	Story Behind the Song This is the first song I have recorded and published. I wrote it in 1995 and it is one of the few songs that came to me all at once. Usually I work on a song for weeks, months or even years. It took two weeks to record and mix. To get this out before Easter, there was no time to assemble a band, so I am playing all of the instruments and also singing (sorry!). I have to ultimately give credit and thanks to God for giving me this song. Lyrics Garden of Gethsemene It was to be a dark and lonely night He had gone to be alone and pray He left His friends to guard and to watch at the gate but they slept At the Garden of Gethsemene Would you let me go, would you calm my fears Would you take me home, would you dry my tears He was feeling lonely, lost and deserted No one seemed to know what He was going through He cried out to His Father in hopes He would see His tears At the Garden of Gethsemene Would you let me go, would you set me free Would you let me go, take this cup from me He listened for a message from his Father Silence told him there was no other way He left and found His friends at the gate they were still asleep At the Garden of Gethsemene Would you let me go, would you set me free Would you let me go, take this cup from me Won't you take me home, I'm down on my knees Still if I must go - I go willingly Then suddenly a crowd was there upon them He recognized his friend that led the way His friend came close and spoke to Him with a kiss of death At the Garden of Gethsemene Would you let me go, would you set me free Would you let me go, take this cup from me Won't you take me home, I'm down on my knees Still if I must go - I go willingly (C)2000 Joe Sawaya
