God’s gifts flow down like gentle rain
To bathe a thirsty earth;
In Eden’s East comes spring again
As Spirit brings new birth.
A Garden once more is our home
If only we can see
The beauty that from His Cross comes
To set our spirits free.
In union with our bodies now,
No longer we’re at war;
In peace our bodies, spirits bow
To Christ who is not far.
His risen life forever here
Will take us all above;
Our bodies, spirits do not fear
His healing act of love.
A wholeness we’ll forever know
As we are raised in Him;
His beauty Eden’s East now shows
Flows in from Bethlehem.
From Crib to Cross to Open Grave,
With Eden we’re reborn;
God’s whole creation has been saved:
Forever Easter Morn!
