Gethsemane


Gethsemane

Simplified

With feeling

1. Jesus climbed the hill to the garden still.

His steps were heavy and slow.

Love and a prayer took Him there

to the place only He could go.

Gethsemane.

Jesus loves me.

So He went willingly

To Gethsemane.

2. He felt all that was sad, wicked, or bad,

all the pain we would ever know.

While His friends were asleep He fought to keep

His promise made long ago.

Gethsemane.

Jesus loves me.

So He went willingly

To Gethsemane.

3. The hardest thing that ever was done,

The greatest pain that ever was known,

The biggest battle that ever was won—

This was done by Jesus!

The fight was won by Jesus!

Gethsemane.

Jesus loves me.

So He gave His gift to me

in Gethsemane.

Gethsemane.

Jesus loves me.

So He gives His gift to me

from Gethsemane.
