Name: In the Garden
Duration: P00H04M37S
Description: This song is about learning to trust someone’s love for us, about going deeper and daring to believe that we can be unconditionally known and accepted. These connections are rare and force us to reckon with our inability to respond in kind. ’In the Garden’ is an invitation to surrender our own limitations and learn to grow.

lyrics

Deep down in the garden
That you planted long before I came, long before I saw
You shaped the wild
You didn’t cut a root or thorn
But made a picture of your love from complex mysteries in bloom
You knew I’d come
You knew I’d come

You grew a forest
Every tree, a seed of truth
Planted deep within the depths of my uncertain soul you grew
And from those branches
You drew a harvest
And dwelt within, and sang a song
Singing peace now be with you
You taught me love
You taught me love

So how can I thank you more?
How can I love you Lord?
How can I give you all?
Take every part of me
Take every part of me

I found your trail
Tried to follow through the woods
But found myself upon another path, and lost within I stood
And heard you calling
Your voice the sweetest sound I’d heard
You called me up beyond the canopy, up beyond the birds
You set me free
You set me free

And as I gave you all
You made me beautiful
And as I gave you all
You made me everything that I was made to be
