There's a garden my brother started months ago |
| [00:37.14] |
Though he prayed for harvest, it now lies overgrown |
| [00:45.77] |
He shuffled earth but never sowed a seed |
| [00:52.33] |
Only his doubts took root and they chocked his faith like weeds |
| [01:00.62] |
But when his nerves returned, he went to face those empty beds |
| [01:08.25] |
And found the earth had given birth despite his promises unkept |
| [01:13.89] |
|
| [01:31.69] |
Brother Micah feared the seeds he'd sown |
| [01:38.75] |
And he prayed for mercy from crops he knew would surely grow |
| [01:46.40] |
But there's no way to hide the shame we plant at night |
| [01:54.22] |
They may lie dormant but blooms will always find the light |
| [02:01.97] |
If there was only justice in this world, he'd be alone, |
| [02:09.72] |
With his heart still left in parts that he could never whole |
| [02:17.03] |
But now I ask you of his bride: "Friend, do you see that rose?" |
| [02:24.97] |
She is the loveliest crop failure he will ever know |
| [02:35.09] |
|
| [02:37.91] |
We plant, water and worry |
| [02:47.69] |
But we don't have any control of the harvest itself |
| [02:59.19] |
But, oh, the Messiah, He is not like us |
| [03:10.32] |
His power is endless and He won't break His promise |
| [03:22.19] |
And there's still a garden, sown at the foundation |
| [03:33.39] |
It's ripe with redemption and spreading its roots |
| [03:42.13] |
Bless the storm for the rain |
| [03:44.45] |
Bless the Lord for the proof |
| [03:50.20] |
That the harvest is soon |
| [03:56.13] |
And I know that it's true |
| [04:01.70] |
Cause I have seen the first fruits |
| [04:06.82] |
We are the first fruits |
