garden

It happened in a garden

When God first spoke His plan

He spoke to precious children

And called them sinful man

But though their crimes were sin

And made their Father cry

A Savior would sure come

And for them He would die

~

It happened in a garden

On His knees He fell to pray

His thoughts were on a cross

Through which He’d make The Way

Approaching was a “friend”

Who offered Christ a kiss

The soldiers seized Him and

To the cross they whisked

~

It happened in a garden

Bloody pierced and dead

They laid Him in stranger’s tomb

With napkin o’er His head

Salvation’s hope lay cold and still

Three days in the grave

But up it woke on Sunday morn’

With power to heal and save!
