Gethsemane

For the past month or so in Primary we've been learning a song called Gethsemane.
 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 a place only he could go.
(CH) Gethsemane, Jesus loves me, so He went willingly to Gethsemane.
He felt all that was sad, wicked, or bad, all the pains we would ever know. While his friends were asleep, He fought to keep His promise made long ago.
(CH) 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.

So simple and so true. I love the story this song shares. Because of Jesus Christ everything I have in this life and my life to come is possible. I am eternally grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ, his life, and his great atoning sacrifice.
