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
