Story Behind The Song
I was thinking about how amazing it would have been to have talked with God one on One - to walk with Him and see the miracles and hear His teachings. But reality is that we are all far from perfect and God has given us the Bible so we can know what He wants from us.
Song Description
The song begins in the Garden of Eden where man walked with God as friends. It thinks about the birth of Jesus and His ministry, all the while reflecting on the fact that our sin seperates us from God.

Lyrics
FALLEN MAN words and music by David Brandt
VERSE 1
I?d love to walk with You in Your garden again/ what a thrill to hear Your word spoken - friend to friend!/ I?d love to experience how You meant it to be/ but I?ll go through my life deaf, dumb and blind to Your eternal mystery!/
CHORUS
Before I lived You made me/ cried for my sins and forgave me/ and everything I?ve done was in Your plan/ You wanted me to love You and put no god above You/ without the Son I?m just a fallen man - A fallen man
VERSE 2
I?d love to have been in Bethleham at Your virgin birth/ what a thrill to be at Your feet, Lord, at Your side as You walked the earth/ I know that I?m the one who nailed You to that tree/
I fell, Jesus, but You loved me - You gave me grace and You set me free!
CHORUS
