Gardener Lyrics

This life is so very strange to me

Its a vapor, all is vanity

Yet I'm entangled in the earth

Implanted in this cursed land

That I've come to love too much

Only sojourners, we will not stay

In this world so green bound to decay

Oh why do I hold so dear

To this fading garden of tears

Oh God life is not found here

Oh God life is not found here

Guardian of my soul

The universe is your throne

You're lofty beyond notion

Supreme in your jurisdiction

Your house is beyond galaxies

The greatest of all majesties

Far above my reach

Yet immanent within me

Gatekeeper to new life

The door is sealed tight

Locked in heavy chains

Under gloomy darkness weigh

The door is but a veil

And death is the release

From the dungeon of desire

To a home of endless peace

From the sin that separates

And the trust of garden snakes

We've blemished your design

And cannot be where you reside

I'm the ruler of my will

Unseen shackles hold me still

I'm a prisoner in this place

A slave to my binding ways

You oh King hold the key

To set my spirit free

Your cross shines light to the blind

And reveals darkness' disguise

You alone make the way

Free captives from their chains

Cuz you take our guilt and shame

Make us clean and without blame

And once outside our cell

We're always where you dwell

We're running the path you paved

Cuz our soul is secured and saved

Guardian of my soul

You alone I seek to know

The glory of who you are

You've shown through nail pierced scars

Uproot me from the ground

Shake me from the earth

Thats wrapped my heart in thorns

Sow me in your word

Until my hearts transformed

And I'll be brought to life

Be brought to life

Uproot me from the ground

Shake me from the earth

Thats wrapped my heart in thorns

Sow me in your word

Until my hearts transformed

And I'll be brought to life

Be brought to life

Death is the seed of life

Death is the seed of life

Uproot me from the ground

Shake me from the earth

Thats wrapped my heart in thorns

God free me from these thorns

Sow me in your word

Until my hearts transformed

And I'll be brought to life

Be brought to life

Death is the seed of life

Death is the seed of life

You are life
