Through The Garden Gate
There was a land, a garden to the east Formed by the Creator’s hand From the dust He breathed new life In the garden with God walked man
The whispered words of the serpent crafty Abashed the inclination of God’s plan Knowledge once unknown thrust upon him Now the garden blocked by sin’s demand
Given a laborious ground of thistles An unworked barren wasteland No turning back to the garden blocked By cherubim with fiery sword he was banned
Sin stained the ground crimson Pride blackened heart with a stone it began Will His spirit content with you forever? 120 years be numbered, the son of man
With what will our sins atone? On altars with burnt sacrifices can sins remand? Seeking to once again walk with the Father Within the garden so grand
Man called upon the name of the Lord A salvation his pleas command A branch from the roots of Jesse Offered redemption by His only Son planned
Selfless sacrifice broke the chain of separation Restored correlation of God and man Atonement for sins by blood relinquished Freely given by the perfect lamb
There is a land, a garden to the east Formed by the Creator’s hand A forgotten memory but for a time In the garden with God walked man
