Gethsemane

GETHSEMANE

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

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

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

sung by Claire Ryann

When 3 year old Claire Ryann heard this song, she asked her parents to play it over and over. Soon she knew the words and sang it constantly at home. Sometimes children say things that indicate they are familiar with God and things on the other side of the veil. Because they are young they often don't have the language to articulate what they know and have experienced before coming to this earth. But we can feel it, we can sense it in what they do say. That's how I feel when I listen to Claire sing "Gethsemane." She knows.
