Misty's musical work stands alone as excellent worship music in and of itself, but much can be gleaned from understanding the dynamics of the context in which the songs are formed: 24/7 prayer, worship, and fasting. IHOP-KC has held live worship non-stop, without closing the doors, since September 19th, 1999.
Much of Misty's music springs spontaneously from two-hour prayer and worship sessions called 'Worship with the Word' or intercession sets. Intercession sets typically consist of short fifteen-minute segments of contemporary worship music, followed by someone praying at a special microphone set up at the front of the room. The singers will begin to sing-prophesy along with the prayers, and the music will build and release in unison with the prayers offered.
According to Mike Bickle, she was spending so much time in the prayer room that he finally got concerned about it and urged her to get out and "go see a movie or something."
Garden
Misty Edwards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me alone
Here it's You and me alone, God
You and me alone
[I am Your resting place
For You said that You would be in me
That I would abide in the Vine
The hope of my glory]
You and me alone, God
You and me alone
Here it's You and me alone, God
You and me alone
You've hedged me in
With skin all around me
I'm a garden enclosed
A locked garden
Life takes place behind the face
Where it's You and me alone, God
Here it's You and me alone
Here it's You and me alone, God
You and me alone
So come into Your garden
Come into Your garden
Come into Your garden
Come into Your garden
Here, oh Lord
Have I prepared
A place for You
I'm no longer my own
I'm Your garden
I don't want to waste my life
Living on the outside
I'm going to live from the inside out
I don't want to waste my time
Living on the outside
I'm going to live from the inside out
I'm no longer my own
I'm Your garden
So come into Your garden
Come into Your garden
Come into Your garden
Come into Your garden!
The song "Garden" by Misty Edwards is a beautiful and intimate representation of the relationship between the singer and God. Through the repeated line of "You and me alone, God," the listener can feel the closeness and exclusivity between the two. The singer speaks of being God's resting place and abiding in Him, referencing the verse from Colossians 1:27 which says, "Christ in you, the hope of glory." The garden, as described in the song, represents the singer's heart, which has been hedged in by God and is now a place for Him to dwell. The garden is locked, representing the exclusivity and privacy of the singer's relationship with God, as well as the sanctity of the space.
The singer invites God into the garden, acknowledging that it is a place she has prepared for Him. She recognizes that she is no longer her own; she is God's garden. The song ends with an affirmation of living from the inside out, not wasting time on the outside, but inviting God to come into the garden and dwell there.
Overall, the message of the song is one of intimacy and exclusivity with God. It encourages the listener to create a space in their own hearts for God to dwell, to cultivate that space carefully and intentionally, and to invite God in to dwell there fully.

Eu sou um jardim fechado
Um jardim trancado
Uma fonte selada
Eu sou Seu lugar de descanso
Eu sou Seu lugar de descanso
Aqui, ó Senhor, preparei um lugar para Você habitar
Aqui no meu reservatório
Para que Você pudesse habitar no meu coração
Que eu estaria em Você e Você estaria em mim
Para que eu pudesse ter comunhão com Deus
Aqui, onde é Você e eu só
A própria glória de Deus
Dentro de mim
eu quero ter comunhão com Você
[Verso 1]
Aqui é Você e eu sozinho, Deus
Você e eu sozinho

Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need.
We are to live righteous and Holy because He said to and paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus . 🙏
I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏
Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕
We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖
People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏🔥 🕊️
Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness.
Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Jesus is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands.
Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.💖🙏🕊️🔥
Praise God 🙏 🕊️ 🙏 ❤️ 🙏 🔥
Hallelujah Jesus 🕊️🙏
In Jesus mighty name 🙏🔥🕊️ 💖

I’m free guys ! I lived my whole life in fear, torment, mourning, heaviness, sorrow and grief. The world destroyed my faith walk and God restored my legs, my strength to keep going in faith. Now, I’m waiting on my encounter with Love. I never had love my whole life and now I can’t wait to see what life looks like with God who is Love !

@chandlertheorange
This song is amazing. Deeper than the standard worship music we consume today with the realization that we are consumed 'in Him'. Relentless album is one of the best worship albums ever released. Thx Misty for bringing a depth to worship beyond the prophetic into the mystic heart of Yeshua. Shaba

I've never felt closer worshipping with music than I do when I listen to Misty Edwards. I can put any one song on loop all day all night and in my sleep.
