homesick for eden

6/26/2009

a garden so green where water ran clean
and the animals roamed without names

love was a girl who walked through the world
where passion was pure as a flame

in the back of our minds is a time before time
and a sad irreversible fact
we can't seem to think why we left there
and we can't seem to find our way back

all of us are homesick for eden
we yearn to return to a land we've never known

deep is the need to go back to the garden
a burning so strong for a place we belong
a place that we knew is home

have you ever cried for no reason why
like a child that's been left on its own

you can't quite explain the confusion of pain
so you live with the heartache alone

in the back of your mind is a place and a time
and an image of what should have been

and you know that you'll never be happy
until you find your way back there again

all of us are homesick for eden
we yearn to return to a land we've never known

deep is the need to go back to the garden
a burning so strong for a place we belong
a place that we know is home

we were made to live in his perfect love
we were meant to walk in his grace
and we'll never feel we are home again
until we see him face to face

deep is our need to go back to the garden
a burning so strong for a place we belong
to rest at his feet in fellowship so sweet
a place we know is home

i didn't write that, but it speaks loads of what my heart is longing for right now. i know that life is a beautiful journey, but " Oh Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight..."

i am falling for God
