Lyrics
Verse 1
Long ago, within a garden,
Adam tasted fruit with Eve.
Death would be our awful burden—
Only One could set us free.
Chorus
Alleluia, alleluia!
Jesus came to set us free!
Lamb of God and true Messiah,
Songs of joy we raise to Thee.
Verse 2
Jesus came to win a pardon,
Praying in Gethsemane—
Humbly suff’ring in that garden,
Crucified on Calvary.
Chorus
Alleluia, alleluia!
Jesus came to set us free!
Lamb of God and true Messiah,
Songs of joy we raise to Thee.
Verse 3
In a tomb within a garden,
Women went where Jesus lay.
Angels told them, “He is risen!”
On that glorious Easter day.
Chorus
Alleluia, alleluia!
Jesus came to set us free!
Lamb of God and true Messiah,
Songs of joy we raise to Thee.
Verse 4
Come to Christ and be forgiven.
Taste the fruit of Father’s tree,
Sweetest fruit of all His garden.
Dwell with Him eternally.
Chorus
Alleluia, alleluia!
Jesus came to set us free!
Lamb of God and true Messiah,
Songs of joy we raise to Thee.
