Here in the garden
Given a promise
A life is found in you
Here in the garden
Free from the darkness
A light is found in you
Be still my heart
Do not be overwhelmed
The Lord my God is with me
Be still my soul
His presence is my home
My rock, my safety
Whom then shall I fear
Here in the garden
Back where we started
I am reborn in you
Here in the garden
Alive in the Father
A future found in you
Be still my heart
Do not be overwhelmed
The Lord my God is with me
Be still my soul
His presence is my home
My rock, my safety
Whom then shall I fear
Whom then shall I fear
Whom then shall I fear
Whom then shall I fear
No sin
No death
No fear
Can ever separate me
No sin
No death
No fear
Can ever separate me
Be still my heart
Do not be overwhelmed
The Lord my God is with me
Be still my soul
His presence is my home
My rock, my safety
Whom then shall I fear
Whom then shall I fear
Whom then shall I fear
Whom then shall I fear
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to where we started
Walking the garden
Take me back to where we started
I just wanna be
I just wanna be with you
Ooh…
I just wanna be with you
Ooh…
Bring me back
To the garden
Bring me back
To where we started
I wanna walk with you
I wanna walk with you
I wanna walk with you
Ooh…
Returning to the Garden: A Journey of Renewal
Brandon Lake’s “The Garden” is a poetic meditation on spiritual restoration and intimacy with God. The lyrics evoke the biblical image of the garden as a place of promise, innocence, and communion. Lake weaves imagery of light overcoming darkness and rebirth, suggesting that true life is found in reconnecting with the divine source. The repeated call to “be still” serves as both a reassurance and an invitation to trust in God’s unwavering presence. The refrain “Whom then shall I fear” highlights the sense of security and peace found in faith, while the final verses express a deep longing to return to that sacred beginning, walking closely with God, free from the burdens of sin, death, and fear.
