Two Gardens

When sin entered the picture, they were in God’s garden of delight.
Upon that great infraction, came their exit unto night.

God’s angel guards crossed swords to watch o’er the garden entrance door,
and set the stage for a second time when another garden was in store.

The second garden was Gethsemane – the olive press in phrase.
Our Lord’s life was squeezed in time, yet to His Father he gave the praise.

No one wanted to enter these premises, for drops of blood were Jesus’ tears.
He faced this evening all alone, to the tune of Satan’s cheers.

The angels ministered unto Him, because He was not the sin He bore.
He was preparing a grand opening for the garden’s eternal door.

To go from garden to garden, in a place where flowers bloom
was our Lord, who paid the entrance fee and uncrossed the swords at the garden tomb.
