I hand myself over
Is this the cost
Of what it is to follow You?
Blows and whips and thorns
Nails and crosses
How can this be love?
I felt Your cry
As You prayed in agony
And I felt the touch
Of the sweat upon Your brow
It drove me to my knees
And I could barely breathe
Such a light touch
A small encounter with Your pain
And I'm left broken
I couldn't meet Your eyes
So You came to me
Did the angels who bore You up
Also minister to me?
Jesus, are You here?
They're arresting me tonight
My God, didn't You feel alone?
I feel like nothing
After all we have been through
I can't find my friends
They are lost in this crowd
Stand up for me
Defend me, O Holy Spirit
Be my Advocate
I touched the blood of Jesus
And although I bear guilt
Where He did not
I also bear the mark
Of His sweat and blood
I was there
In that garden with Him
I was there
Lord, don't let my soul perish
Condemned by my own guilt
I fear this road
But here we go
I carry Your blood upon my soul
May it become my salvation
