Lay a vineyard pure and fair
Where Beloved by the Gardener
Grew a Vine beyond compare
The fruit beloved by the Gardener
When crushed upon Love’s Vine
Would yield a priceless vintage
Of sweet Redemption Wine
Into an earthbound garden
Spilled some drops one grace-filled day
Eden’s man and woman tasted
Redemption’s Wine with lips of clay
Drops spilled throughout the ages
On doorposts and altar stone
Mere shadows of that vintage
In Obedience’s vineyard fully grown
Leaving the Kingdom’s vineyard
The Vine walked on earthen sod
Footprints of Obedience
Pointing to the heart of God
Into Gethsemane’s garden
Beloved, the Vine, the Son
Words of obedience speaking
To the Gardener He had come
The fruit now fully ripened
Knew the crushing yet to run
Desired that cup be lifted
Yet the Gardener’s will He wanted done
So yielding to Love’s Gardener
Whose will flowed throughout the Vine
He submitted to that crushing
Releasing fully Redemption’s Wine
That cup to Heav’n He lifted
A vintage spilling to a cup now mine
That these lips of clay, through mercy
Know the sweet taste of Redemption’s Wine
