1. God tended a garden where his meadows shone
With the tread of a God who therein did wait

2. And prayed a prayer that He might us enfold
To Him and blot out all we had misshaped

3. And for us offered up Himself that He
Might turn us to Him and love us, healed and saved

4. And when He saw what from our hands would come
He grieved for what He saw, examined close

5. And watered with tears the dust beneath His feet
Showing the weakness of the flesh, marked deep
