Betrayal in the Garden Lyrics

In the garden beneath the glow of the moon, Jesus knew who would show up soon

Judas led with torches bright. Betrayal came in the dead of night

Peter lashed out and cut an ear. But Jesus spoke, his voice was clear

Put your sword away, no need to fight. The Father's plan must happen tonight

In the garden a plan unfolds. A love so deep, a truth foretold

Betrayed by a friend, yet still he stayed. To fulfill the price that must be paid

Peter stood by the fire's light. Denied his Lord in the cold of night

Three times he swore, I don't know Him. And the rooster crowed, his faith grew dim

Are you the king? Pilot asked with doubt

My kingdom's not here, Jesus called out. If it were, they'd fight to set me free

But truth and grace define my decree. Pilot said, what is truth

Yet the truth was standing in front of him

The crowd demanded for our best release. Rejecting the one who brings us peace

They chose the rebel, condemned the lamb. Yet through it all he endured

In the garden a plan unfolds. A love so deep, a truth foretold

Betrayed by a friend, yet still he stayed. To fulfill the price that must be paid

Betrayed in the garden, arrested in the night. The path to the cross, now in plain sight

Injustice reigned, the people cried. But through it all, love never died

For every sin, the price he paid. A savior's love that won't decay

In the garden a plan unfolds. A love so deep, a truth foretold

Betrayed by a friend, yet still he stayed. To fulfill the price that must be paid

But truth stands alone, forever the same. Through every trial he took our blame

From the garden to the judgment hall. The Lamb of God gave it all
