(Verse 1)
Em
D
G
There in the
garden, all a
lone
Em
D
G
In anguish,
falling to the
ground
Em
D
G
You sought a
friend beloved to
watch and pray
Fmaj7
Dsus
D
Yet such a friend could not be
found
Em
D
G
Too busy
thinking of my
self
Em
D
G
I let the
world lull me to
sleep
Em
D
G
And as I
slumbered in the
early hours
Fmaj7
Dsus
D
You were alone to pray and
weep

You bled and

C
I held the hammer

I was the
one

(Verse 2)
Em
D
G
They asked me
if I was Your
friend
Em
D
G
I swore I
did not know Your
name
Em
D
G
In fear that
they would come and
seek me out
Fmaj7
Dsus
D
I cursed and lied to hide my
shame
Em
D
G
Then when I
heard the rooster
crow
Em
D
G
Just as You
told me it would
do
Em
D
G
You glanced my
way as You were
passing by
Fmaj7
Dsus
D
And in that moment Lord I
knew
