I know you think you are alone
But I am standing near
I long to ease your troubled mind
And take away your fear
This single moment must be yours
For you must choose the road
To tread the path to Calvary
And bear sin’s heavy load
Your sweat like blood falls to the ground
I count each precious drop
The scene that must start to unfold
I wish that I could stop
Another hill, another time
To mark your wondrous birth
I sang a sweet melodious song
Of heaven touching earth
Now heaven touches one more time
To strike the fatal blow
To heal a rift and lift a curse
Inflicted long ago
“If possible,” I hear you say
“Let this dark hour pass by
I’ll take this cup and drink its brew
Your will, not mine,” you sigh
At last, my help, I now can give
And strength to you impart
As I draw close, I pour my love
Into your willing heart
The freedom song that’s rising up
Demands I sing this day
For sin which binds and torments men
Will soon be washed away
