". . . we thought about how Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples before being crucified. They would have traditionally sung the Hallel as part of that—the Psalm with "His love endures forever"—before heading to [Gethsemane] and Jesus praying in agony.
"When that song was formed over years of Jewish tradition, part of me wonders whether God was orchestrating that to give his people something that he himself would need later on for comfort.

It has something to do with worshiping to the tune of “Everybody wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to die.”
