NOT MY WILL BUT THINE 
~performed by Acappella~
Lead:  George Pendergrass
 

Jesus prayed in the garden and poured out His heart for me
There has been no love shown by mortals 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 but thine; 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
But He said, 
"Not my will but thine.
Not my will but thine."

They cheated Him and they beat Him
They mocked Him - they scourged Him
The people kept a cryin'
We've got to crucify Him
Crucify Him, crucify Him
He said,
"Not my will but thine."

Well 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."

Can't you see him; can't you see Him hanging there
Suffering Savior, but He said,
"Not my will but thine."
You know, He said,
"Not my will but thine."
