Garden

God I messed up again
I didn't pay your preachers ten
I gave it to someone in need
Does that mean you won't bless me
God I'm trying hard
Not to curse in my car
Even when the traffics bad
Did you ever get really mad

I'm on my way to church
I'm gonna sing songs even if it hurts
But honestly
I feel you more when I leave
I can't figure out quite why
All of the smoke and the lights
Don't bring me closer to
This real world's walking and talking to you

God I missed this time
I slept in till nine
Instead, I got down on my knees
I just tried to hear you breathe
God I'm a little scared
To say what goes on in there
Feels more like a movie scene
Like a tithing experience

I'm on my way to church
I'm gonna sing songs even if it hurts
But honestly
I feel you more when I leave
I can't figure out quite why
All of the smoke and the lights
Don't bring me closer to
This real world's walking and talking to you

And I don't want to accuse what you love
If it's important to you then make it important to me
But there's just some things that I can't quite understand
If you made the world
Then why does church feel made by man

But I'm on my way to church
Gonna sing songs even when it hurts
But honestly
I feel you more when I leave
I can't figure out quite why
All of the smoke and the lights
Don't bring me closer to
This real world's walking and talking to you

You spoke my name and life began
Breathe filled dust and sand
Felt you in the cool of the night
Saw you in the newly made sky
And you were mine

Take me back to the Garden
Where it all began
Take me back to the Garden
We were walking hand in hand
My eyes were filled with wonder
My heart was filled with peace
Lost by the mystery
It's all that I could see
Take me back to the Garden
And dance with me

Made in your perfect design
Pure in heart and mind
Known by your loving eyes
Held in heavens divine
And you are mine

Take me back to the Garden
Where it all began
Take me back to the Garden
We were walking hand in hand
My eyes were filled with wonder
My heart was filled with peace
Captured by the mystery
It's all that I could see
Take me back to the Garden
And dance with me

And oh my heart groans
To find the place my spirit knows
It's the longing of my soul
To find the place I once called home
And show me the garden
The place that you've prepared
The streets of gold we'll walk on
Take me there take me there

Take me back to the Garden
Where it all began
Take me back to the Garden
We were walking hand in hand
My eyes were filled with wonder
My heart was filled with peace
Lost in the mystery
It's all that I could see
Take me back to the Garden

Take me back to the Garden
Where it all began
Take me back to the Garden
We were walking hand in hand
My eyes were filled with wonder
My heart was filled with peace
Captured by the mystery
It's all that I could see
Take me back to the Garden
And dance with me
