He came there past the midnight hour,
With greed and fear that gave him power.
The torches burned, the crowd drew near,
Their hearts were cold, their minds unclear.
He led them through the olive trees,
The night was thick, without a breeze.
He kissed the Lord to mark the way,
And sold his friend for silver’s pay.
His love so strong, it faced the dark,
And bore the pain, the cruelest mark.
He gave himself to set us free,
He gave his life for you and me.
“Whom do you seek?” the Savior said,
While courage lit the path he led.
“I am he,” his voice rang true,
The soldiers trembled at that view.
Then Peter drew his sword with might,
But Jesus spoke to end the fight.
“Put back your sword, the time has come,
God’s will be done — His work begun.”
His love so strong, it faced the dark,
And bore the pain, the cruelest mark.
He gave himself to set us free,
He gave his life for you and me.
The faithful few all ran away,
While heaven watched that fateful day.
Still Jesus stood, with peace he shone,
To drink the cup that was his own.
The mob bound hands that healed the lame,
And mocked the one of spotless name.
His heart was pure, his voice the same,
He bore our sin, he took the blame.
His love so strong, it faced the dark,
And bore the pain, the cruelest mark.
He gave himself to set us free,
He gave his life for you and me.
No theft, no crime, no earthly wrong,
Could silence truth that stands so strong.
The prophets’ words were all made true,
Salvation’s light came breaking through.
Now when I read what Judas done,
I think how far a heart can run.
So let me stay where mercy grew,
And walk the path that leads to you.
His love so strong, it faced the dark,
And bore the pain, the cruelest mark.
He gave himself to set us free,
He gave his life for you and me.
That faithful night, the fear was near,
Yet still His voice was calm and clear.
His steadfast love gives strength to me,
To face life’s trials courageously.
His love so strong, it faced the dark,
And bore the pain, the cruelest mark.
He gave himself to set us free,
He gave his life for you and me.
His love so strong, it faced the dark,
And bore the pain, the cruelest mark.
He gave himself to set us free,
He gave his life for you and me.
He gave himself to set us free,
He gave his life for you and me.
