I only want to say if there is a way

Take this cup away from me

For I don't want to taste its poison

Feel it burn me, I have changed

I'm not as sure as when we started

Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations

Tried for three years, seems like thirty

Could you ask as much from any other man?

But if I die see the saga through and do the things you ask of me

Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree

Why I should die?

Would I be more noticed than I was ever before?

Would the things I've said and done matter any more?

I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord

Have to know, have to know my Lord

Why should I die?

Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?

Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain

Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die

You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why

Alright I'll die

Just, just watch me die

After all I've tried for three years

Seems like ninety

Why then am I scared to finish what I started?

What you started, I didn't start it

God, Thy will is hard but You hold every card

I will drink Your cup of poison

Nail me to Your cross and break me

Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now

Before I change my mind

Now before I change my mind
