Gethsemane Song

Here is a copy of the Church Program listing the Hardy kids and their song - plus the two boys who also sang.  They did so well!  and the song is beautiful - written by Melanie and Roger Hoffman.  Here are the words:
 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.

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.

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.

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.

Isn't that just beautiful?  plus to have four dear grandchildren sing it in Sacrament meeting - priceless!  Made me cry with joy and happiness - what a great way to celebrate Easter and the Atonement and Resurrection.
