Have you ever heard of the band, Needtobreathe? If you haven't, I highly recommend downloading their stuff! They are my favourite right now. I absolutely love their southern rock/gospel sound and how they weave their love for Christ subtly, but passionately, into their lyrics. Their song 'Garden' from their newest album, 'The Outsiders,' is beautiful in its simplicity and truth and stirs my heart every time I hear it. It's based on the story of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane just before his death on the cross to save us.
Mark 14: 35 & 36 (NLT): He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by. "Abba, Father," he cried out, "everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine."
Here are the lyrics.
Garden (by Needtobreathe)
‘Cause fear has stolen all my sleep
If tomorrow means my death
I pray you’ll save their souls with it
Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
In this hour of doubt I see
But who I am is not just me
So give me strength to die myself
So love can live to tell the tale
Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
Father let my heart be…
For you
Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
