Story behind the song
I got the idea for the lyric from the title Clarence had given his instrumental recording, which this is a CCMixter remix of. I used the drums, organ, and piano from that, and added guitar, bass, the middle organ break, and the vocal. Here's the original: http://ccmixter.org/files/casimps1/28906
Lyrics
He said, Oh Father let this cup pass from me The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak Could you not awake one hour with me? Not as I will, not as I will, not as I will, but just as you will. He said Oh Peter, you will deny me Three times before the rooster crows And as Jesus watched his closest friend lie Not as I will, not as I will, not as I will, but just as you will. And Pilate said, Are you a king? But Jesus just said, “Not of this world!” And just as Pilate washed his hands clean he said, Not as I will, not as I will, not as I will, but just as you will. He said, I’m thirsty, they lifted a sponge To quench the thirst of the water who lives And as Longinus pierced his sweet side Not as I will, not as I will, not as I will, but just as you will.
