The Garden Song
Jason Upton
I’m gonna build you a garden
In a dry and desert land
I’m gonna find a river there
I’m gonna find the river there
For I have seen a garden grow
In a land filled with injustice
I have heard a mothers cry
For her child to live again
I’m wanna build you a garden
In a dry and desert land
I’m gonna find a river there
I’m gonna find the river there
For I have seen a withered soul
Fall like petals on the water
I have watched a flower grow
Slowly rising towards the sun
No one knows what God has seen
When humankind destroyed this garden
But with bleeding hands
We’ll plant the seeds
He’ll make all things new again
He’ll make all things live again
I’m wanna build you a garden
In a dry and desert land
I’m gonna find a river there
I’m gonna find the river there
