I wish to say, if I could request
that you could allow this cup to pass from me
I no longer wish its bitterness
it burns now and I've changed
and I don't know why I've started
I had faith when I began
now I am sad and tired
my journey of 3 years
feels as though it were 30 years and
what more can a man do??
If I am to die
Let all that you want of me be fulfilled
allow them to hate me, to nail me to their cross
I want to see, I want to see, my God
I want to see, I want to see, my God.
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
If I am to die
tell me it will make me better than what I've been
tell me if in dying my life will be fulfilled
I want to see, I want to see, my God
I want to see, I want to see, my God
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
With my death, what will I accomplish?
in dying what will I accomplish?
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
I want to know, I want to know, Lord
Ah!! Why must I die? Why?
Tell me why you want them to nail me to their cross,
show me the reason, give me a bit of your light
tell me your wish is not futile and I will die.
You showed mr the how, the when, but not the why.
Ah!! Very well! I will die
but, but please
when I die, when I die look upon me
please, look upon my death.
I had faith when I began
now, I am sad and tired
my three years now are thousands
Why then do I fear
that everything will end now?
God, I didn't start. This was your will.
Give me the cup of bitterness
nail, whip, rip, kill
but quickly, do it quickly or I
will renege.
