Sweet lover,
songs of garden men
Dance about and rise again
And fill the earth with a glorious sound,
The sound of love in the garden.
The grass is freshly drenched in dew,
The soil is rich with tender shoots,
And blossoms bear their
sweet perfume,
Because there is love in the garden
Until a single faithless glance
Transfigured them through evil's door
Their shameless disobedience
Fell their souls to dance no more
But a covenant of blood
made a covering for sin
And love brought God to the garden
His sweat like blood watered the ground,
The promise seed his life laid down,
The ransom for all sin was found,
The giving of love in the garden.
The splintered cross was looming near,
our cup of sin he would soon bear,
the glorious way
God had prepared for love
to return to the garden.
They brought their torches,
clubs, and swords,
and tried to kill the king of kings,
but by his death he won the war,
fell the curse,
and danced men free.
And a covenant of blood
paid a deepest debt of sin
And love brought God to
the garden
Before the world was set in place,
this covenant was already made.
The Father spoke, the light came,
light of the world, Lamb to be slain.
He knew the price, and still he came.
And love brought love.
Love brought God.
Love brought love to the
garden.
There is a landscape in us all
It's hide -and -break, designed by God
He is the life to which we're called
The pro posal of love in the garden
And a covenant of blood
Will forever keep my soul
And her love brought her home
to the garden.
You
