Eden - Audrey Assad

In the winter of our discontent

In the ruins of our monuments

An ancient light appearing

Into every deadly plot we’ve laid

Into all our bitterness and hate

A kindness ever nearing

Over every war we’ve ever waged

Over every prophet we have slain

A peace past understanding

Out of all our chosen misery

Out of all our misplaced loyalties

A heaven in the making

Eden’s gates swing open to us now

We’ll turn every weapon to a plow

For every sin a pardon

Every field of wildflowers left to seed

Every forest filling up with green

There is healing in the garden

Healing in the garden

Healing in the garden
