Edens

By Amanda Cook

Lyrics

When I doubt what I used to believe 

And I drown in my anxiety 

You are here in these waters with me, as always 


My despair doesn’t scare You away 

Nor my demons, my questions, my pain 

Your compassion outlives all my shame, as always 

Always


You are here 

Closer than the heart in my chest 

Truer than the thoughts in my head 

Even in the shadow of death I know You’re with me 


Here 

Catching my tears in Your hands 

Lifting my head when I can’t

Redeeming in seconds the life I thought was wasted

You make Edens out of wastelands 


When the others have left, You remain 

Through the highs and the lows just the same 

Cause your kindness outlasts and outweighs, as always

Always


You are here 

Closer than the heart in my chest 

Truer than the thoughts in my head 

Even in the shadow of death I know You’re with me 


Here 

Catching my tears with Your hands 

Lifting my head when I can’t

Redeeming in seconds the life I thought was wasted

You make Edens out of wastelands

 

And you’re redeeming everything, everything, everything

You’re redeeming everything, everything, everything

You’re redeeming everything, everything, everything

You’re redeeming everything, everything, everything

Oh, you make Edens out of wastelands

You make Edens out of wastelands


You are here 

Closer than the heart in my chest 

Truer than the thoughts in my head 

Even in the shadow of death I know You’re with me


Right here 

Catching my tears in Your hands 

Lifting my head when I can’t

Redeeming in seconds the years I thought I wasted

You make Edens out of wastelands

You make Edens out of wastelands
