IN A GARDEN

 

In the beginning, there was a Light.

No darkness could stand and put up a fight.

That Light of the world, Christ Jesus is He,

Shines now and forever, in you and in me.

 

It was in a garden that all life began,

Tenderly cared for by God’s mighty hand.

He formed us and made us, His image to see.

But choices were made and death came to be.

 

It was in a garden where our Prince of Peace,

Said, “Father, Your will be don” and brought victory.

He went to the cross and paid for all sin.

He dealt with the darkness, life eternal to win.

 

Our life is a garden, we walk in the Light.

Jesus is shining with power and might.

He lives in our being to cause us to come

And say to the Father, “Thy will be done.”
