If The Garden Could Speak
Would we want to hear
If the Garden could speak?
Would we listen intently
Though the words may be bleak?
Did the trees feel His pain
As He bled from every pore?
Could they tell us how they felt
As they observed the pain He bore?
What did the grass sense
As the blood touched it's blades?
Did it yearn to soak it up
Or did it feel sore afraid?
Did all within the Garden
Hear the words He prayed?
Could they all be a witness
To the plan He obeyed?
If the Garden could speak
Of the night in Gethsemane
Would the words be so strong
They would bring us to our knees?
If the Garden could speak
It'd say wondrous things.
It'd tell the magnitude of His mercy
And what His sacrifice brings.
