[Verse 1]
Morning breaks on a wounded world
Sirens fade
But the scars still show
Yet You wrote hope across the sky
In colors only heaven knows
You called this earth Your handiwork
Every river
Every leaf
Never meant to burn and vanish
You remember our belief
[Chorus]
Jehovah’s paradise is a promise
A gift of mercy
Spoken long ago
The rainbow is a vow You painted
Your Son gave His all
To make it so
On a stake He gave His life for us
So this earth will rise
Will be restored
Jehovah’s paradise is a promise
This world was never meant to be destroyed
[Verse 2]
Ashes fall from the nightly news
But Your word holds a different end
Lions rest
Little children laugh
Every stranger turns to friend
I cling tight to the words You breathed
When my faith feels thin and small
You point back to that hill of shame
Where Your love outshouted it all
[Chorus]
Jehovah’s paradise is a promise
A gift of mercy
Spoken long ago
The rainbow is a vow You painted
Your Son gave His all
To make it so
On a stake He gave His life for us
So this earth will rise
Will be restored
Jehovah’s paradise is a promise
This world was never meant to be destroyed
[Bridge]
[Band drops down
Soft guitar and vocal]
Every tear
Every grave
You remember every name
You will heal
You will save
You will wipe away the pain
[Chorus]
Jehovah’s paradise is a promise
A gift of mercy
Written in Your word
The rainbow is a vow You painted
Your Son gave His all
His love affirmed
On a stake He gave His life for us
So this earth will sing Your joy
Jehovah’s paradise is a promise
This world was never meant to be destroyed
