Intro: Am ( G ) FGEmAmVerse 1:
Am ( G ) F
Father God where are you now?
G
a garden turns to a battle ground
EmAm
As You collapse and You gasp at the towering foe

The terror seizes Your weakened frame

You shake and heave with Your tears like rain

Now pouring down, You would drown in the pain alone
G
All alone

Verse 2:
Am ( G ) F
Your dearest few now fast asleep
G
For who could view this mystery?
EmAm
Behind the veil, the travail and grief of God

You writhed and groaned as the serpent hissed
G
The mob approached, would it end like this?

The Prince of Peace, Heaven's King with a kiss betrayed
G
But you fought and prayed
Chorus 2:

Oh the agony

a Lamb to the slaughter

With the light of the world in darkness
