[Rob Gardner - Lord, Is It I? lyrics]
Feast of Unleavened Bread
The disciples came to Jesus, saying unto Him:
"Where wilt Thou that we prepare for
Thee to eat the Passover?"
And He said: "Go into the
City to a certain man
And say to him: "The Master saith
'My time is at hand
I will keep the Passover at
Thy house with my disciples’"
And the disciples did as
Had Jesus appointed them
And they made ready the Passover
Now when even was come
Jesus sat down with the twelve
And as they did eat, he said:
"Verily I say unto you
That one of you shall betray me"
And they began to be sorrowful
And to say unto him, one by one:
"Is it I?"
Lord, is it I? Would ever I betray Thee?
Having known Thy love
Could I so cruelly turn away?
Could my heart so fail Thee and
My feeling turn so cold?
If I should leave Thee, where would I go?
Lord, is it I? Am I then to betray Thee?
Having seen Thy wonders could my
Foolish heart by swayed?
Is my faith so little that my
Soul would cease to burn?
If I should wander, where would I turn?
If I am prone to leave Thee
If I am won't to doubt
Oh, wilt Thou still receive me
Bind me fast or find me out?
That I may never wander that I may ever see
Oh, that my hope seek not but Thee
That I might follow
Lord, is it I? Could ever I betray Thee?
Having followed with Thee could I
Seek some other way?
Though my heart is willing
Could my flesh become so weak?
If I should leave Thee, whom would I seek?
Oh Savior - take Thou my weakness from me
Help Thou my unbelief
Let nothing overcome me
Be Thou with my sure relief
Thou art my only Shepherd
Thou art the only way
Oh, may I ever serve Thee
For it is I who owe Thee my devotion
It is I, yes, I so safely folded in Thy care
Let mountains fall let valleys rise
Yet one thing shall I know
I will not leave Thee
If I should leave Thee, where would I go?
Master, is it I?
Jesus said unto him: "Thou has said
That thou doest, do quickly"
Judas then went immediately out
And it was night
