A Little Farther
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!
Refrain:
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!
