The Garden Kingdom

The Garden Kingdom

 

 

Your reign is coming and has come

You are sovereign of this garden Kingdom

The whole earth with your glory is filled

And here in this garden we till and are tilled.

 

We are the new Eden and hearts are the soil

The hearts of humans are the place where we toil

And you send living water to make the seed grow

Until with the harvest you reap what you sow.

 

Make me a ploughman

Make me one now

Looking not left nor right

Set my hand to your plow

My furrows will lay straight

My lines will run true

The harvest will come

With my eye set on You

 

You planted the seed in this ground

The blessed hope has taken root.

Raising heavenward the earthbound

And from this garden springs forth fruit.

 

Make me a ploughman

Make me one now

Looking not left nor right

Set my hand to your plow

My furrows will lay straight

My lines will run true

The harvest will come

With my eye set on You
