In the Garden - Alan Jackson (Lyrics)

Details

Description

I fell in love with this song after my pastor told me a story of a man he met in Asia who was sent to prison many times for bringing Bibles into the country. He wasn't trusted to be with other inmates because he would convert them and was put in solitary confinement many times. He was yelled at when he worshipped and was beat up when he defied the guards. The only time he got out of his cell was in the middle of the night when he went into the fields to tend to the sewage waste pipes. It was away from the prison cells and away from the guards because the stench was too foul to discribe.It was the only time he could sing and worship Jesus - away from the guards, away from the rules. This was his song of choice and he told my pastor that each night he sang this song and his surroundings smelled like a garden of roses every night.

You can imagine how one might react after hearing something so beautiful. I was so close to tears I had to think of something funny to keep them in. Anyway I thought I'd share my heart behind this video.
