Cave Nick Patripassian Lyrics

Patripassian Lyrics

From the Current '93 album All the Pretty Horsies 

 

 The rivers of Babylon flow, and fall, and carry

 away...Jesus is alone on earth, not merely with no

 one to feel and share His agony, but with no one

 even to know of it. Heaven and He are the only ones

 to know.

 

 

 Jesus is in a garden, not of delight, like the first

 Adam, who fell and took with him all

 mankind, but of agony, where He has saved

 Himself and all mankind

 

 

 He suffers this anguish and abandonment in the

 horror of the night.

 

 

 Jesus will be in agony until the end of the world.

 There must be no resting in the meantime...
