From Angie:

The lyrics of this song were inspired by a woman named Noelle Hope Leishman Tomco, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2020.

These are her words:

“The concept that Elder Maxwell vocalized so perfectly and that was most powerful to me in answering my desire to let go of the fear and anger was ‘as we confront our trials and tribulations, we too can plead with the Father, just as Jesus did, that we “might not shrink,” meaning to retreat or to recoil. Not shrinking is much more important than surviving! Moreover, partaking of a bitter cup without becoming bitter is likewise part of the emulation of Jesus.’

“I began to realize that I can be perfect like Christ in one way –I CAN, ‘not shrink,’ and I CAN ‘not become bitter with the bitter cup.’ It was okay that I asked to be healed. It was okay that I asked God to save me, but as when Christ asked for the cup to pass from Him, it was done with meekness. He did it knowing God knows ALL and that He would submit to whatever His father asked of Him.

“I needed to let go and trust the Lord. I knew that I could testify of the goodness of God for the rest of my life, no matter what was happening, because of: 1. the answers to the prayers that I have received, and 2. because of his atonement and ability to heal. Perhaps not to heal my body, but to heal my mind, my fear, my hurt, and my family’s hurt. And, if I did not survive, I would know that I did not shrink from the Lord, that I built my testimony on that which is eternal.”

Nevertheless
(Noelle’s Song)

1.The Savior in Gethsemane
Once pled, “Remove this cup from me”
Then lifted to his lips and pressed
The chalice brimmed with bitterness.

Chorus
Nevertheless, not my will but thine be done.
Nevertheless, not my will but thine be done.

2.At times when trials overflow,
My shoulders bend beneath the
load.I find my faith on fallen knees
And plead, “Remove this cup from me.”

Chorus

Bridge
When bitter cups are not replaced,
I seek my Savior’s gentle face.
Like angels in Gethsemane,
He lends his strength and comforts me.

4.The bitterness will not define
The love that lives in heart and mind.
With faith and hope, I’ll meekly bear
My burdens seeking grace through prayer.

Chorus

From Kristina:

It was such a pleasure to work with Angie on this thoughtful and special song. The melody is in the alto range, representing the humble, meek, and down-to-earth circumstance the Savior was in Gethsemane. The cello solo throughout the song represents the voice and will of God. In the beginning of the song, the cello and voice are distinctly different showing that the will of God and our will can start off different. But God never gives up on us just as the cello continues to call to the voice. At the end of the song, the cello and voice are united and working together in glorious harmony representing our will aligning with God’s will.
