The Crucible Of God Gethsemane chords

The Crucible Of God Gethsemane

• Am

Crucible of God (Gethsemane)

Key of C (Changes to D mid-song)

By Matt Papa

Great Song! Note that during the verses, there is a transitional chord (G) between Am and F
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 to Em to Am in the verses is faster than 
most chord transitions. The Em is almost a transitional chord.

Intro: Am ( G ) F G Em Am

Verse 1:


Am                          ( G ) F
Father God where are you now?

                                 G
A garden turns to a battle ground

                        Em                  Am
As You collapse and You gasp at the towering foe

Am                                   ( G ) F
The terror seizes Your weakened frame

                                             G
You shake and heave with Your tears like rain

                                Em                 F
Now pouring down, You would drown in the pain alone

       G
All alone


Chorus 1:

     Am   F C
Gethsemane

                G
Loves greatest hour

          Am    F     C
You were on Your knees

             G
Passion and fire

          F              Am
And You pleaded and You prayed

             F           G
Oh can there be another way?

    Am  ( G ) F G Em Am
Gethsemane


Verse 2:

Am                              ( G ) F
Your dearest few now fast asleep

                                G
For who could view this mystery?

                          Em                 Am
Behind the veil, the travail and grief of God

                                             ( G ) F
You writhed and groaned as the serpent hissed

                                           G
The mob approached, would it end like this?

                                Em                     F
The Prince of Peace, Heaven's King with a kiss betrayed

             G
But you fought and prayed


Chorus 2:

     Am   F C 
Gethsemane

                G
Loves greatest hour

         Am F C
Oh the agony

                G
A Lamb to the slaughter

           F                   Am
And You sweat with drops of blood

        F                  G
As You faced the wrath of God

     F
Gethsemane


Bridge:

         Am            G
Oh the fight, in the night

           C           F          G  Em
With the light of the world in darkness

         Am            G
Oh the pain, oh the shame

          C             F            G
As He prayed, "God have You forsaken me?"

Chorus 3:

    Bm    G D
Gethsemane

            A
Raging desire

      Bm        G D
Love beyond degree

                 A
Forged in the fire

          G                  Bm
And you chose to win Your bride

          G                A
On that dreadful lonely night

    Bm    A
Gethsemane

         G                 Bm
And You raised the bitter cup

         G                   A
As You prayed Your will be done

     Bm   A
Gethsemane

           G              Bm
And You counted up the cost

              G                    A
But did you know it meant the cross?

     Bm   
Gethsemane
