garden king Lyrics

Let me tell you the tale of a tree that could cover the land in its shade

Its branches were broad as could be and it offered benevolent rule

The birds in the sky and the beasts on the ground found a place they could stay

But listen close to the mighty tree, it was singing that ancient tune

Who on earth is as mighty as I can be

Who on earth has the power to stand against my will

Then the men took the axe and cut down the tree

And they bound up the stump amidst the grass of the field

And everybody said

Eon to eon You are King

Conquering ruler of everything

Armies of heaven, hosts of men

No one among them can stay Your hand

Armies of heaven, hosts of men

No one among them can stay Your hand

Let me tell you the tale of a king that commanded the men of the earth

As he scornfully laughed to himself looking out from the palace roof

On the nations and cities he raided and ravaged and razed to the dirt

Listen close to the garden king, he was singing that ancient tune

Who on earth is as mighty as I can be

Who on earth has the power to stand against my will

Let me tell you the tale of a beast that was driven from all that he loved

With the talons of eagles he grazed like an ox in the morning dew

Seven years came and went till he lifted his voice to the heavens above

Listen close to the lowly beast, he was singing a different tune

Who on earth is as mighty as Adonai

Who on earth has the power to stand against His will

Jesus humbles the proud and exalts the lowly

All his judgements are true and He's merciful still

And everybody said

Eon to eon You are King

Conquering ruler of everything

Armies of heaven, hosts of men

No one among them can stay Your hand

Armies of heaven, hosts of men

No one among them can stay Your hand

No one among them can stay Your hand
