Song Spotlight – Needtobreathe – Garden

An article by Brent Chavez    No Comments

Needtobreathe again! I remember the first time I heard this song, it stopped me dead in my tracks. I couldn’t take my focus away from it, and ended up re-playing it a half dozen times. It so perfectly captures the heart of Jesus that night in the garden. Not my will, but yours be done. I love how they are able to humanize the feeling Jesus must have felt. The song is a lament cried out to the Father, confessing fear about what has to be done, but also resolving to stay the course. The chorus of this song is a prayer for everyone who sings praise! Hope you enjoy it!

Won’t you take this cup from me
‘Cause fear has stolen all my sleep
If tomorrow means my death
I pray you’ll save their souls with it

Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you

In this hour of doubt I see
But who I am is not just me
So give me strength to die myself
So love can live to tell the tale

Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you

Father let my heart be…
For you

Let the songs I sing
Bring joy to you
Let the words I say profess my love
Let the notes I choose
Be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
