God of the Garden
You gifted us with your
True Affection
Whole Perfection
The beauty of Eden
Was a just glimpse of Your
Own Reflection
God of the Garden
We broke your trust with our
Prideful Rejection
Foolish Subjection
We deified ourselves
Our sin has cursed us with
Utter Dejection
God of the Garden
You chose to free us
Divine Revelation
Complete Salvation
Your love made flesh
Your Garden made new in
Your Restoration
God of the Garden
We steward this space
Faithful Conservation
Careful Curation
Awaiting Recreation
Guard and guide us
Form and inspire us
Your incarnation
