Story behind the song
Its about the disciples in the garden of gethsemane, and how they might have felt as they waited while Jesus prayed and the slow realisation of what was actually going to happen.
Lyrics
The Longest Night We are wretched sinners all; we’ve broken all your laws But in the flesh you came, and called each of us by name We followed without question, and watched as sight came to the blind And as you prayed there in the garden, in my father’s will not mine Its gonna be the longest night; we must not fall asleep Its gonna be the longest night; we can hear the saviour weep Its gonna be the longest night; you’ve told us many times today At the start of the longest night, we prayed In the garden we all prayed. Help us not to fall away Because tonight you will be betrayed, on our guard we all must stay You woke us up at midnight, we had all fallen asleep You rebuked us for our weakness, and returned us to our knees Cause we have seen you cast out demons, and return strength to the lame How could we all have been so blinded? Tonight was why messiah came Its gonna be the longest night; it was written before time Its gonna be the longest night; the Lamb of God crucified. Its gonna be the longest night; you know that the cross awaits And throughout the longest night, we prayed. In the garden we all prayed, help us not to fall away For this is why our master came, for our salvations sake In your mercy Lord I pray, forgive my filthy ways Though it’s your judgement I deserve, you have rescued me so now I serve…
