‘Gethsemane’

Lyrics by Melanie Hoffman

 During a canyon drive when words for Gethsemane hit her like a thunderbolt after months of fearing how to explain Christ’s suffering to children. She sat at her kitchen table and words poured out as she wept through writing the bridge about the hardest thing ever done and the greatest pain ever known.

This beloved hymn is created for a contemporary Youth Choir.
