When in the Garden

I wrote this in just a few days. It is a Sacrament hymn that ties the Sacrament to the covenants we made at baptism. I don't believe there is another hymn that talks of this.

When in the garden, Jesus gasped,

this cup, Oh Father let it pass

but if not so, I'll drink it all

and suffer what is to befall.

The bread and water symbols of

our Savior, His atoning love.

His body pieced, His blood was spilled,

the law of justice was fulfilled.

We cov'nant with the Lord this day,

remembering the promise made;

immersed and cleansed in water clear,

to have His Spirit always here.

Our Savior suffered all of this

so we may reap eternal bliss.

He did this so we can return

to live forever; His love earned.

v.1 (Transposed from Key of E Major to D major)

This is a simple Sacrament Hymn that I came up with the words one insomniac evening. The tune followed shortly. It is my hope that it expresses the Sacrament with dignity.

Our Savior, in Gethsemane
Cried, "Father, take this cup from me,
But if Thou wilt, I'll drink it all";
Atoning for our sins, and fall.

Our Savior, whose hands raised the dead,
Were pierced with nails, His blood they shed.
Symbolic of His body torn;
We eat the bread, our souls reborn.

Our Savior, bleeding on the tree
From head and feet, and side flowed free.
As symbols of His blood, so dear
We now partake the water, clear.

Our Savior suffered all of these
So that God's law He did appease
We come to Him, our hearts are rent,
And we partake His sacrament.

Great is Thy Mercy

This is a Sacrament hymn that I composed a couple years ago and stayed dormant until recently. I collaborated with fellow MoTab choir member, Michael Young on the lyrics. Thanks, Michael for the inspiring words to go with the music. I hope you enjoy it.
