In the garden, in the silent night,
sorrow wrapped around Your soul,
the weight of the world upon Your heart,
and the Cross began to unfold.
With tears You lifted up Your eyes
to the Father who sees all things,
and in the midst of deepest anguish,
You surrendered in perfect faith.
“My Father…” Your voice softly cried,
with a wounded soul filled with love…
(Chorus – very soft and contemplative)
Thy will be done, O Lord,
though the heart may ache with pain,
though the road grows dark before me,
I trust in Your holy love.
Thy will be done, my God,
I surrender all to You,
for upon the Cross I understood
what You suffered for me.
You were led in silence to judgment,
rejected without a cause,
crowned with thorns and wounded deeply,
yet overflowing with compassion.
You did not answer injustice,
nor return hatred for pain;
like the Lamb who was offered,
You conquered through purest love.
(Chorus – same, but deeper)
Thy will be done, O Lord,
though the heart may ache with pain…
Thy will be done, O Lord,
though the heart may ache with pain…
(Bridge – deepest moment / almost spoken or whispered)
“If it is not possible
for this cup to pass from Me…
My Father…
Thy will be done…”
(short silence…)
And as they saw You die for love,
one heart began to understand…
and the world heard him proclaim:
“Truly…
this was the Son of God…”
(Final Chorus – worshipful, fuller yet still gentle)
Thy will be done, O Lord,
today I surrender to Your love,
I no longer wish to resist You,
I place my trust in You.
Truly, You are God,
my Savior and Redeemer,
Jesus, Lamb of Love,
today I give myself to You.
(Ending – optional / very soft repetition)
Thy will be done…
Thy will be done…
within my life, O Lord…
Thy will be done…
Thy will be done…
within my life, O Lord…
(Chorus – very soft and contemplative)
Thy will be done, O Lord,
though the heart may ache with pain,
though the road grows dark before me,
I trust in Your holy love.
Thy will be done, my God,
I surrender all to You,
for upon the Cross I understood
what You suffered for me.
Thy will be done…
Thy will be done…
within my life, O Lord…
