A Man Planted a Garden

A man planted a garden
With a nice hedge round about
Then he went away far
And, to others, let it out

One day, he sent a servant
To receive the fruit there of
But he was badly beaten
With rocks hard and rough

To keep this property in tact
Again, he sent his best and humbled
Each in turn was attacked
With some killed as they were man handled

Having yet therefor one son
He sent him also the last
Who was the most welcome
For his inheritance

With whips they struck him bloody
Yet, no cries from him were heard
And then his lifeless body
Was cast out of the vineyard

The owner had no choice
He came himself... alone
These men he destroyed
And then he placed a stone

Representing the son, it had been rejected
By the renters as they'd framed
This chief cornerstone was resurrected
And a temple, in his name, was made
