"FOR IF MEN DO THESE THINGS WHEN THE TREE IS GREEN, WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT IS DRY"
They went with Jesus to the garden while He prayed
He knelt in anguish as He soon would be betrayed
But they were sleeping when they should have been watching
They didn't know what was to come

If I had been there would I have done any better
Would I have knelt beside Him and held His trembling hand
Would I have helped Him bear His burden on that day
Or like the others failed to under stand

Beaten and bleeding He was led up calvary's hill
He gave His life there for it was His fathers will
Some people were weeping while others were laughing
They didn't know what was to come

If I had been there would I have done any better
Tried to stop them as they drove nails in His hands
Would I have helped Him bear His burden on that day
Or like the others failed to understand

But on the third day He arose from the grave
Spoke to His loved ones who were hiding and afraid
If you don't believe me
Come here and touch me
And you will see that it is true

If I had been there would I have done any better
Would I have tried to reach out..
.. And touch His Nail-Scarred hands?
Would I have helped Him bear His burden on that day
Or like the others fail to understand

Oh Lord please help me understand
