garden king

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
