A Lenten Love Song

Now Jesus went into the garden,
The garden of Gethsemane.
He went there sad and very weary
To be alone to pray.

"Dear God, I am so sorrowful,
is there no other way?
Dear God, if it is possible,
let this cup pass away."

Now Jesus went into the garden,
The garden of Gethsemane.
The olive tree bent over Him.
And heard Him sadly pray.

"Dear God, your Son is sorrowful,
but knows your way is best.
Let love take hold of me!
Help me to be bold and free
to do your will,
to do your will,
to do your will
and rest.

Ubi caritas et amor,
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est.

Ubi caritas et amor,
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est.
(Latin translation)
Where charity and love are found,
God is there. (based on I John 4:16)
