I’m planning to use this Gethsemane flip chart as my April song choice for Come, Follow Me this year! I can’t think of any better song to teach this year than Gethsemane song by Melanie Hoffman while we study the life of the Savior!

Gethsemane Flip Chart
This Gethsemane flip chart has colored keywords to help the kids learn and remember the entire song! It’s perfect for primary-aged kids to learn about the life of Jesus Christ with a meaningful song that will stick with them for a lifetime.
Green = Gethsemane / garden
Blue = prayer
Red = love / his promise
Even a young audience can understand all the pain of Christ alone in the garden of Gethsemane and shedding great drops of blood – these are visuals that even the little kids can understand and help bring a greater connection to the Atonement.
You can see every one of our available charts in this master Flip Chart printables list!
You’re going to want this cheat sheet post on how I use flip charts! One of my favorite tricks is using split rings so the chart is completely contained (the best part is no dropping pages!)
Gethsemane Lyrics
Verse 1:
Jesus climbed the hill to the garden still.
His steps were heavy and slow.
Love and a prayer took Him there
To the place only He could go.
Chorus:
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me.
So He went willingly to Gethsemane.
Verse 2:
He felt all that was sad, wicked, or bad,
All the pain we would ever know.
While his friends were asleep
He fought to keep His promise made long ago.
Verse 3:
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!
Special Finale Chorus:
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me.
So He gave His gift to me in Gethsemane.
Gethsemane. Jesus loves me.
So He gave His gift to me from Gethsemane.

Singing Time Gethsemane Flip Chart Printable
This colorful Gethsemane flip chart is 5-pages long and was designed to need to flip as few pages as possible — this was a tough one as such a long song!
Pay special attention to the last page of the song where the chorus repeats, but with slightly different words. I’ve underlined those words so you’ll sing the first one the first time through and the second ones the second time through.
You can also skip the last page entirely, once your Primary knows the chorus well enough.

I printed off the flip chart for Gethsemane, and it only has the words to the song. Where can I find the one with pictures? That would be helpful.. Thanks

I am so thankful to have found this, we found out with two weeks to go that we will be singing this in Sacrament meeting; our little ones are just beginning to learn it!
