Story behind the song
While listening to a message during Men's Fraternity, I was riveted by the statement that Adam failed his wife because he was PRESENT and did nothing to protect her. You see, the bible says that she gave the fruit to the man 'with her' meaning he was right there. This song is a result of that message, and communicates a contrast between Adam, who said 'No' to God and therefore gave the human race Death, and Jesus, who said Yes to God, and therefore gave the human race Life.
Lyrics
In the Garden © 2007 Christopher M Solaas (capo 4) Verse1: Em C Way back at the beginning of time, Adam stood by as he watched a crime Em D For the snake told Eve, “It’s a great big lie, Did the Lord God say ‘You shall surely die.’? Em C For the fruit you see, it will open your eyes, It’s a tasty snack that will make you wise. Em You will be like God, knowing wrong from right; C D Em D Whatcha waitin’ for, girl? Take a great big bite!” Em D 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: G C In the garden at the start of it all, Em D A couple of kids had a great big fall! G C In the garden, was a sneaky snake, Em D A gullible girl, and a big mistake G C In the garden, every one of us fell Em D Headed for death and the pit of Hell Em D In the garden… Em D 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…
