We live between two gardens
but at times it’s hard to comprehend
that what was lost so long ago
will be restored to us again
All the good and lovely things here
and the beauty we behold
are only glimpses of the remnants
left from the paradise of old
We long for more of all that’s good
in that once beautiful garden space
but now we only know in part
with scripture assuring us of that place
With our eyes of faith we can see it
as if it’s on a distant shore
so we’re not consumed by darkness here
for on that shore there is no more
God’s promises through Jesus Christ
make everything so clear
as we share with Him life’s bleakness
and verbalize our fear
We gain a deeper understanding
when we do not handle life alone
and seek Him and His Kingdom first
with our gaze fixed on our forever home
This hope will keep us steadfast
as we rejoice in Him and what will be …
a new heaven and a new earth
and someday with our sight we’ll see
