Story behind the song
This song explores the emotions that Jesus faced as He prayed at the garden of Gethsemane, knowing what chain of events were about to take place and the consequences that would affect the future of all humankind.
Lyrics
Maybe I’m right,
Maybe I’m wrong,
Maybe I’ve lost my mind.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way.
Looking inside all I can find is just a mystery.
And I just really need you by my side.
But I know it’s true that you need me too,
I know that salvation’s in our hands.
And I will stand strong,
And face the pain to come.
I will lay down my life to bring you home.
If I could say,
If I could tell,
Everything in my heart;
There would never be the perfect words.
Bearing this weight,
Holding the world,
Balancing time and fate;
Promise me you’ll try to understand.
But I know it’s true that you need me too,
I know that salvation’s in our hands.
And I will stand strong,
And face the pain to come.
I will lay down my life to bring you home.
Now is the time,
I see him come
He was a friend of mine;
Now he will betray me with a kiss.
Lay down your sword!
Don’t be afraid
This always was meant to be:
Tomorrow, your troubles will be mine.
