lyrics

I was walking in the garden
With the Lord by my side,
Content with His presence
As I bathed in His light

His voice shimmered sweetly,
And this it did say:
“I love you, dear child,”
In the cool of the day

Walking, walking
Peacefully, peacefully
Walking, walking
What a dream, what a dream

I was walking in the garden
When before me stood
That tree of old mention
To know evil and good

It’s fruit glowed in brilliance
“I must taste its delight!”
So taking I tasted
And fell with one bite

Standing, standing
By the tree, by the tree
Standing, standing
Woe is me, woe is me

I hid myself from the Lord
To disguise my shame
But He called me and He found me,
Judged me for my blame

Leaving, leaving
Expelled from peace, expelled from peace
Weeping, weeping
How can this be? How can this be?

I was walking in the garden
With the Lord by my side
But I fell in judgment
From His face I did hide

Expelled from the garden,
I suffered alone
But He sent me a Savior
From His royal throne

Conquering, conquering
World at peace, world at peace
Conquering, conquering
Christ as King, Christ as King
