John is the only person that records the name of the man who had his ear cut off, and the only one who names Peter as the one who did it. Who was he, what was the relationship between him, Peter, and John, and what did he do with that experience in the years ahead? Why did John name him in his book, and how did he respond?
lyrics
Meet me in the Garden
Words that haunt me where I lay
Greeting and a kiss seen
How easy we can betray
Swords they flash, like diamonds
Lust for power just to slay
How it all entraps, defiles
Much like how my life it lays
But you speak and I fall to the earth
You reach and I try to hide my face
You touch and I wonder how you heal
And then I hear you calling out my name
Johnny he said nothing
Johnny turned and ran away
You just stood there watching
A quiet rock above the fray
Then you speak and I fall to the earth
You reach and I try to hide my face
You touch and I wonder how you heal
And then I hear you calling out my name
Blood and water pour
Sky and curtain torn
What I’ve seen, what you stepped between
Leaves me asking, what’s it for?
Still you speak and I fall to the earth
Still You reach and I try to hide my face
Still You touch and I wonder how you heal
And Still I hear you calling out my name…
