This is a gospel-like version of a song I wrote for my church choir to be performed during a Passion reading on Good Friday. It mixes the traditional story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane with the more modern desire for pilgramage. It also uses Gethsemane as a metaphor for our own personal struggles.
Title: Gethsemane
Vocal: Kristine Mannion
Choir vocals: Kristine Mannion and Steve Pitkanen
Words and Music: Steve Pitkanen
Lyrics:
Are you goin' to Gethsemane?
Are you goin' to Gethsemane,
Where Jesus struggled in agony?
Are you goin' to Gethsemane?
Are you goin' to Gethsemane?
Are you goin' to Gethsemane?
The spirit's strong but the flesh is weak
When you go to Gethsemane.
Lord, send angels to comfort me.
Lord, send angels to comfort me.
Tell them how I am suffering
When you go to Gethsemane.
Take my cross and my rosary.
Take my cross and my rosary.
Place them under an olive tree
When you go to Gethsemane.
