from DLDown's 2009 album "Also, He Made the Stars..."
lyrics
Thursday in the garden and the hour is close at hand
Frightened friends beside him though they can't yet understand
And he loves them
How he loves them
Even though they just can't keep their weary eyes open
And so he's alone
So alone
And over and over the tears from his eyes overflow
Enemies conspiring send an army for one man
Traitor's kiss confiding: "he's the one, lads - take him down"
But he loves them
Still he loves them
So he goes
Though they won't let their blinded eyes open
And so, as he knows, blood will flow
And over and over his captors will rain down the blows
Darkness overwhelmed him; no, he didn't last that long
It seemed that all was over; the mourners wailed their song
But he loves us
Yes, he loves us
This we know
For he told us to keep our eyes open
And so there's so much to tell you
So much has happened since all I've just told you took place
Only three days ago
