Gethsemane

0:00 / 0:00

Verse 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.

Chorus

Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,

So He went willingly to Gethsemane.

Verse 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.

Chorus

Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,

So He went willingly to Gethsemane.

Bridge

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!

Outro

Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,

So He gave this gift to me in Gethsemane.

Gethsemane! Jesus loves me,

So He gives this gift to me from Gethsemane.
