Jesus' Disciples Went Out to Pray

(to the tune of “Five Little Dinosaurs Went Out to Play”)

Jesus’ Disciples went out to pray
In the Garden of Gethsemane one day,
But Judas was coming, and some soldiers, too.
Peter said, “Jesus, I’ll take care of you.”

Jesus’ Disciples went out to pray
In the Garden of Gethsemane one day,         
But Judas was coming, and some soldiers, too
Judas said, “Jesus, we have come for you.”

Jesus’ Disciples went out to pray
In the Garden of Gethsemane one day,
But Judas was coming, and some soldiers, too.
Peter took a knife and cut an ear in two.

Jesus’ Disciples went out to pray
In the Garden of Gethsemane one day,         
But Judas was coming, and some soldiers, too.
Jesus healed the ear and said, “Shame on you!”

Jesus’ Disciples went out to pray
In the Garden of Gethsemane one day,         
But Judas was coming, and some soldiers, too
They took Jesus away, as they were told to do.

No Disciples went out to pray
In the Garden of Gethsemane one day,         
Jesus our savior died on a cross.
The world had suffered a tragic loss.

Jesus’ Disciples went out to pray
In the Garden of Gethsemane one day,         
It was three days later, and the Lord returned,
Saving us with Grace we had not earned.
