THE KIDRON

There in the valley
The brook Kidron flows.
Here in the mountain,
Great olive trees grow.
Tell me what secrets the silent stones keep
That here in the shadows
Our Savior must weep.

See the soft rain
Wash away His pain
Into the lowly Kidron.

The red sun is sinking,
Black clouds blot the sky.
The women are weeping,
Their Master has died.
Home to His Father,
His freed Spirit’s flown,
But here in the shadows
Remain blood-stained stones.

See the soft rain
Wash away the stain
Into the lowly Kidron.



If you are weary,
Oh if you are weak,
Come to the mountain,
To Gethsemane.
Here in the shadows,
The silent stones tell
Of Him who is Savior,
Who suffered so well.

Feel the rain, the gentle rain
Wash away your stains
Feel the rain, oh, the gentle rain
Wash away your pain
Into the lowly Kidron,
Into the Kidron’s flow.

"The Kidron" is a valley that runs between the Mount of Olives and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. After the Passover, Jesus and His Disciples passed over the Kidron as He prepared to enter Gethsemane, and take upon Himself our burdens.
