IN THE GARDEN
Bob Dylan
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
Did they know He was the Son of God, did they know that He was Lord?
Did they hear when He told Peter, “Peter, put up your sword”?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
When they came for Him in the garden, did they know?
When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear?
When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear?
Saying, “Master, tell me why a man must be born again”
When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear?
When He spoke to them in the city, did they hear?
When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see?
When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see?
Same thing My Father do, I can do likewise”
When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see?
When He healed the blind and crippled, did they see?
Did they speak out against Him, did they dare?
Did they speak out against Him, did they dare?
The multitude wanted to make Him king, put a crown upon His head
Why did He slip away to a quiet place instead?
Did they speak out against Him, did they dare?
Did they speak out against Him, did they dare?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
He said, “All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth”
Did they know right then and there what the power was worth?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
from the album SAVED

5.0 out of 5 stars You don't get better than this, January 16, 2001
By C Rogers (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: Saved (Audio CD)
When Dylan produced Slow Train Coming a lot of people thought that it was a brief 'spiritual' phase he was going through. However when Saved was produced it horrified the secular music world as he had obviously fallen victim to the christian faith. John Lennon called him a traitor to his own jewish people and concert goers threw food at him when he refused to sing songs from older albums. I remember walking past record stores who were almost giving the cassette of Saved away (well, for .95 cents anyway). Yet it remains Dylans most rockiest,clearest and arguably his most passionate album he has ever produced. I absolutely love it and always go back to playing it. Time has shown that it was a 'phase' for Dylan, and when I went to a concert of his in 1986 with Tom Petty, all his passion had gone..he didn't seem to know who he was or what he was singing about(the critics had a field day). His obviously has come back since then, but I remember this album as a pinnacle of a singer who gave up his dignity and reputation to follow his heart...and isn't that where all good music comes from?

This review is from: Saved (Audio CD)
What do you need to know?
Should I bolster Dylan's incredible reputation as an incredible songwriter? Should I tell you that he wrote a Christian rock album based on his own genuine faith at the time? Will you buy the album if I tell you it is among my favorite Christian albums, along with Phil Keaggy's (great guitarist with a Paul McCartney voice) and Larry Norman's (singer-songwriter with a folk-blues flavor) groundbreaking work?
Listen to the clips. Dig the blues and black gospel influences. Groove with it. You like Dylan. Of course you do. Even critics of Christianity claim this to be among his best works. When you get into it and feel the verve of his sincerity and depth, you're bound to agree that as a Dylan fan, you have not been disappointed. You'll find he was hardly fundamentalist in his theology, but rich with a complex faith that charged that he should be living out what he was singing about. Nothing namby-pamby is going on here.
The same Dylan who wrote, "The Times They Are A-Changin" wrote every word of "Saved."
If matters of faith cause you to tremble, join the ranks of pop music fans. If spiritual questing, search for meaning and the desire to believe in something that matters in your real life is part of what makes a classic song, buy this CD.
For the less timid, dust off your family Bible and find out he's pulling much of his lyrics straight from Scripture. Check out "Slow Train Coming" or "Shot of Love" to hear more of his work in this genre. If you find out Christian rock is more than Stryper, Amy Grant and jazzed-up versions of "Amazing Grace," boldly go where Christian rock has gone before, and search the net for "In Another Land" or "Only Visiting This Planet" by Norman, or any of Keaggy's stuff.
I fully recommend this album.
