Crucible of God (Gethsemane)

Key of C majorC (Changes to D MajorD mid-song)

By Matt Papa

Great Song! Note that during the verses, there is a transitional chord (G+G) between A minorAm and FF
I have included the chord in parentheses, but it is optional, play it if you like. I do think it
adds a lot to the song though. Also, the switch from G+G to E minorEm to A minorAm in the verses is faster than
most chord transitions. The E minorEm is almost a transitional chord.

Intro: A minorAm (G+G) FF G+G E minorEm A minorAm

Verse 1:

A minorAm             (G+G) FF
Father God where are you now?

                 G+G
A augmentedA garden turns to a battle ground

            E minorEm         A minorAm
As You collapse and You gasp at the towering foe

A minorAm                  (G+G) FF
The terror seizes Your weakened frame

                       G+G
You shake and heave with Your tears like rain

                E minorEm         FF
Now pouring down, You would drown in the pain alone

    G+G
All alone


Chorus 1:

   A minorAm  FF C majorC
Gethsemane

        G+G
Loves greatest hour

     A minorAm  FF   C majorC
You were on Your knees

       G+G
Passion and fire

     FF       A minorAm
And You pleaded and You prayed

       FF      G+G
Oh can there be another way?

  A minorAm (G+G) FF G+G E minorEm A minorAm
Gethsemane

Verse 2:

A minorAm               (G+G) FF
Your dearest few now fast asleep

                G+G
For who could view this mystery?

             E minorEm         A minorAm
Behind the veil, the travail and grief of God

                       (G+G) FF
You writhed and groaned as the serpent hissed

                      G+G
The mob approached, would it end like this?

                E minorEm           FF
The Prince of Peace, Heaven's King with a kiss betrayed

       G+G
But you fought and prayed


Chorus 2:

   A minorAm  FF C majorC
Gethsemane

        G+G
Loves greatest hour

     A minorAm FF C majorC
Oh the agony

        G+G
A augmentedA Lamb to the slaughter

      FF          A minorAm
And You sweat with drops of blood

    FF         G+G
As You faced the wrath of God

   FF
Gethsemane


Bridge:

     A minorAm      G+G
Oh the fight, in the night

      C majorC      FF     G+G E minorEm
With the light of the world in darkness

     A minorAm      G+G
Oh the pain, oh the shame

     C majorC       FF      G+G
As He prayed, "God have You forsaken me?"

Chorus 3:

  B minorBm  G+G D MajorD
Gethsemane

      A augmentedA
Raging desire

   B minorBm    G+G D MajorD
Love beyond degree

         A augmentedA
Forged in the fire

     G+G         B minorBm
And you chose to win Your bride

     G+G        A augmentedA
On that dreadful lonely night

  B minorBm  A augmentedA
Gethsemane

     G+G         B minorBm

Gethsemane

      G+G       B minorBm
And You counted up the cost

       G+G          A augmentedA
But did you know it meant the cross?

   B minorBm
Gethsemane
