Not My Will But Thine

Jesus prayed in the garden and poured out His heart for me

There was been no love shown by mortal as in dark Gethsemane

He could have chosen not to suffer treatment of the cruelest kind

But the lips of my pure savior uttered not my will but thine

Not my will, not my will but thine

Jesus prayed in the garden, He prayed oh

Jesus prayed in the garden, He prayed oh

Let me tell you what He went through

You know He really didn't have to

He could have easily just walked away

Then He said not my will but thine

Not my will but thine

They cheat Him and they beat Him

They mocked Him and scouraged Him

The people kept a cryin'

We've got to crucify Him

Crucify Him, crucify Him

He said

Not My Will but Thine

Will they hung Him there in anger searchin' for some relief

They nailed Him there in public right between the two thieves

He tasted human torture of the cruelest kind

Not my will but thine

Not my will but thine

Jesus died on Calvary, He died Oh

Jesus died on Calvary, He died Oh

Some were laughin' some were cryin' some were happy at His dyin'

I don't see, I can't see how could this ever be?

Poor Jesus as He hung on the tree He said

Not my will but thine

Not my will but thine
