Broken Pieces
In The Garden
Copyright 2007.
This song is a comparison between the Garden experience of the two Adams.
The first Adam tried to blame his wife.
The second Adam lay down His life.
Lyrics
Way back at the beginning of time, Adam stood by as he watched a crime
For the snake told Eve, "It's a great big lie, Did the Lord God say 'You shall surely die.'?
For the fruit you see, it will open your eyes, It's a tasty snack that will make you wise.
You will be like God, knowing wrong from right;
Whatcha waitin' for, girl? Take a great big bite!"
In the garden…
Verse2:
Well, Adam stood by and he scratched his head.
"Well, it's not MY fault if she ends up dead.
And if she lives, and she seems all right,
Then I'll be fine, too, if I take a bite."
So he waited and watched as his lovely wife
Made a dismal choice that would cost her life
And later that day, when the Lord God came,
Adam tried to give his wife the blame
In the garden…
Chorus:
In the garden at the start of it all,
A couple of kids had a great big fall!
In the garden, was a sneaky snake,
A gullible girl, and a big mistake
In the garden, every one of us fell
Headed for death and the pit of Hell
In the garden…
In the garden…
Verse3:
Well, 5,000 years and a flood rolled by
And a billion people on the earth all died
Every one of us inherited death
From the time we took our very first breath
Not a single one could have made it right,
Not a ray of hope in this endless night
Til the Lord Himself, by an olive tree
On a fateful night on His bended knee
In the garden…
Verse4:
On that fateful day, where time divides,
The debt of the world was satisfied.
When the time was right, the Lord's own Son
Bowed His head and said, "Thy will be done."
The first Adam tried to blame wife
But the second Adam lay down His life
His precious blood on Calvary
Turned defeat into victory
In the garden…
In the garden, when the time was right,
The people in darkness saw a great light
In the garden, a price was paid
To redeem a world full of pain and hate
In the garden, on the Lord was hurled
The ugly sins of the whole wide world
In the garden…
In the garden…
In the garden…
