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