For Now Gethsemane

I long to walk in Eden with trees in bloom

And where the air is sweet

To spend my days in sunshine, beside the brook

Where you will meet with me

But I have heard you calling, and in obedience I go

To another garden who's history I know

Lord, for now it's Gethsemane

For now that's where your bringing me

To a place whose agony you've known

So because your will is clear

I'll trust you and I'll stay right here

If Eden call's tomorrow, then those pathways I will roam

But for now Gethsemane is home

I won't compare my suffering with all the pain

I know that you endured

Yet you have used this garden to teach me how

Surrender makes me yours

So strengthen and sustain me

And I will face whatever comes

I know Eden is waiting

When this night is young

Lord, for now it's Gethsemane

For now that's where your bringing me

To a place whose agony you've known

So because your will is clear

I'll trust you and I'll stay right here

If Eden call's tomorrow, then those pathways I will roam

But for now Gethsemane is home

Where you walk with me (where you walk with me)

And you talk with me (and you talk with me)

And you tell me "I'm your own"

Lord, for now it's Gethsemane

For now that's where your bringing me

To a place whose agony you've known

So because your will is clear

I'll trust you and I'll stay right here

If Eden call's tomorrow, then those pathways I will roam

But for now Gethsemane is home

But for now Gethsemane is home
