Gethsemane Songtext

von Loretta Lynn

In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus suffered there
The sweat became as blood they say he spent the night in prayer
They whipped him up the mountain made him carry his cross
He died to save the sinner man he died to save the lost

Who shall wear his garment divide it in four parts
Who shall wear the Saviour's robe we shall all cast lots

Gamblin' over the Saviour's clothes oh what an awful shame
When Jesus was hangin' on the cross they thought it was just a game
I wonder how the soldiers felt when the day turned black as night
Do you think they ran and hid and trembled with their fright

Who shall wear his garment divide it in four parts...

Do you think that they felt sorry for the wrong that they had done
When they learned the Jew they crucified was God's own chosen son
My Saviour was a humble man who did no wrong they say
Now we call Easter morning when the angel rolled the stone away

Who shall wear his garment divide it in four parts...
