Garden Walls – Mindy Gledhill

The lights within Jerusalem are gone
But there is one who will not sleep at all
He will call upon the powers of heaven
Deep within a garden’s walls
A voice breaks through the silence in the night
And branches shake to hear a grown man cry
Oh, he cries and feels the sting of death inside
But he won’t ask why

Through the years and cross the deep, blue sea
(Comes this mystery)
Why would the king of heaven and earth bow down to free me?

Footsteps in the sand are drawing nigh
And raging voices echo in the sky
Angry eyes can’t see that the man they sent to die offers life

Through the years and cross the deep, blue sea
(Comes this mystery)
Why would the king of heaven and earth bow down to free me?
Two thousand years and cross the deep, blue sea
(A wondrous mystery)
The king of all creation came to free me, free me

The lights within the city now are gone
But there is one who cannot sleep at all
I will answer to the voice that ever calls
From those garden walls
