GETHSEMANE
Author(s): Aaron David
Songbook: Dad's Songs of Love
KeyWords: Teamworking,

Verse 1
In the darkened shade of those garden trees,
My Master and Lord was on bended knees.
He prayed and He plead in His hour alone,
Forsaken by all He had called His Own.

Chorus 1
Gethsemane! Gethsemane!
That place of My Savior's agony.
I bow in tears at His Love for me,
Gethsemane! Gethsemane!

Verse 2
But in the darkened shade of that garden slope,
Was born on that night a lost world's hope,
When Jesus, the Christ, put Himself aside,
And drank to the dregs of that cup supplied.

[Repeat Chorus 1]

Verse 3
In the darkened shade of that vale of tears,
A light from His wonderful Love appears.
The Savior who suffered and prayed alone,
Gives comfort and peace, to a world unknown.

Chorus 2
Gethsemane! Gethsemane!
That place of My Savior's agony.
I bow in tears at His Love for me,
Gethsemane! Gethsemane!
