Just Before His Trial, Jesus Entered Dark Gethsemane;
Leaving Eight Outside, Took Peter And Two Sons Of Zebedee.
Oh, The Anguish In The Garden, As Again He Left The Three;
And He Went A Little Farther, All The Way To Calvary!
Let Us Go A Little Farther, Farther Than We’ve Gone Before;
Are We Workers Now For Jesus? Let Us Do A Little More.
See Him Praying, Hear Him Groaning; Death Sweeps O’er Him Like A Flood;
“Let This Cup Pass From Me, Father”-Sweat Runs Down As Drops Of Blood!
“Not My Will, Lord, I Will Drink It: Let Thy Will Be Done In Me.”
And He Went A Little Farther, All The Way To Calvary!
Then At Pilate’s Hall, Behold Him, As The Mob Who Mocked Him Cried,
“Away, Away, Give Us Barabbas; Let This Christ Be Crucified!”
Oh, Barabbas, Oh, Barabbas, Jesus Surely Died For Thee,
When He Went A Little Farther, All The Way To Calvary!
Now He Marches To Golgotha, Scourged And Thorn-Crowned On The Road;
Bears The Cross Upon His Shoulder, Sinks Beneath The Heavy Load!
Mocked, Reviled, By Friends Forsaken-All For You, And All For Me
And He Went A Little Farther, All The Way To Calvary!
