[verse 1] Just tell me what is the difference Between the Garden of Eden And the garden of Gethsemane The first is where you gave me life And I ate from the forbidden tree The last is where you knelt on your knees To pray, Father please take this cup from me And you said Not my will, but yours be done Instead of running away, you stayed You stayed in the garden until your time was done If a flower can teach us wisdom And knowledge can be shared from a blade of grass What could be learned, to enlighten me What could be learned, to help me grow Maybe it’s about the timing of things Or maybe, we’ll never know [verse 2] Today I got the news That instead of living a long life with my family My life would be cut short in a hospital room How could this happen Why would you allow this to happen How many questions will you allowed to be left unanswered I guess I’ll never know If a flower can teach us wisdom And knowledge can be shared from a blade of grass What could be learned, to enlighten me What could be learned, to help me grow Maybe it’s about the timing of things Or maybe, we’ll never know [Verse 3] Just 39 minutes after the doctor left A nurse ran in to proclaimed my life is saved. Someone else died in an accident And she donated her organs. I will have a heart transplant immediately. I will now live, thanks to someone else, which made me think how our lord Jesus must have must have felt As they rolled me into the operation room the doctors there said life will soon begin anew and I had a vision of how Sometimes life might seem to end in vain But not today, because of someone else’s grace [verse 4] Jesus tell me what is the difference Between the Garden of Eden The Garden of Gethsemane, And this hospital room The first is where you gave me life The middle is where you determined to trade your life for mine The last is where I am now And I’m determined to stay with you until my time is done Maybe a flower can teach us wisdom And knowledge can be shared from a blade of grass What could be learned, to enlighten me What could be learned, to help me grow Both a flower and a blade of grass have seen you Maybe I’ll find out one day when I see you too But that day will have to wait until my time is done
