Paradise Lost

In the beginning

There was life

Created by Heaven

Your delight

In constant communion

Confiding in God

But one look at that tree

And that trust is all gone

We know the truth

Yet we're still holding onto the lies

We shift the blame

And we cling to our name and our pride

Paradise Lost

We don't trust in our God

And at the sight of the serpent

We will question your motives

We're piecing together

A cover for our shame

We're hating the mystery

See no reason for our faith

We forget the hands that made us

We are always on the run

And at the end of every day

We cry out what have we done

We were once innocent

Filled with your glory, divine

Now we die in our sin

And we cave to our wants and desires

Paradise Lost

We don't trust in our God

And at the sight of the serpent

We will question your motives

Paradise Lost

We put you on that cross

In a moment of weakness

We built a wall in between us

But I see a hope beyond this curse

A bright and burning beacon for the world

And though sin came, it was defeated

You sent your son who interceded

And I see the sun begin to rise on a new day

And I view this brokenness inside in a new way

I'm done with this mess

And God, I confess

That I wanna come

(Back to the garden)

Bring me home

(Back to the garden)

Break off these chains and carry me

(Back to the garden)

We're coming home

Coming home

Coming home

We're coming home

We're getting off of your throne

And now the serpent is leaving

Jesus is king and
