Bittersweet Songtext
von Bobby Michaels

The garden was a lonely place
As Jesus knelt in search of grace
Torn between the heart of God and fears of man
Resigning to the truth at last
That if the bitter cup should pass
He could not fulfill what was His Father′s plan
But what made the bitter sweet
Was knowing death was not defeat
He gave the very life we stood to gain
He tasted bitter just one time
To quench the sins of all mankind
The bitter cup He drank was not in vain
For the sweetness of the victory still remains
I thought I'd given God control
And yet the storm raged in my soul


Feeling bitterness I could not understand
But then the Master let me see
The bitter cup He drank for me
Dying for the end of what my sin began
But what made the bitter sweet
Was knowing death was not defeat
He gave the very life we stood to gain
He tasted bitter just one time
To quench the sins of all mankind
The bitter cup He drank was not in vain
For the sweetness of the victory still remains
He tasted bitter just one time
To quench the sins of all mankind
The bitter cup He drank was not in vain
For the sweetness of the victory still remains
