(Intro)
Yeah…
Back to the garden
Back to the heart
(Verse 1)
You found me hidin’ like Adam in the trees
Shame on my skin, fallin’ to my knees
Heard You walkin’ in the cool of the day
Still You called my name, didn’t turn away
I was chasin’ dust, buildin’ golden calves
Modern-day idols in designer rags
But You split seas like Moses with a staff in hand
Said, “Leave that bondage, I got promised land.”
You wrote Your law on a heart of stone
Now it’s flesh ‘cause You made it home
Like David cryin’ out, “Create in me
A clean heart, God, let me finally see.”
(Pre-Chorus)
You don’t just save me, You stay with me
Valley low like Psalm 23 speaks
Shadow of death can’t swallow me whole
‘Cause Your rod and Your staff steady my soul
(Chorus)
You’re jealous for my love, holy flame
Call me by my secret name
Not religion, not performance lights
Just You and me in the quiet nights
Strength when my faith feels thin
Wash me white like crimson sin
Closer than skin, deeper than breath
You loved me through the cross and death
(Verse 2)
You touched my eyes like Bartimaeus on the road
Now I see grace in the weight I hold
You wept for me like Lazarus in the grave
Proved resurrection is the love You gave
And when I wandered far from home
Prodigal heart, cold as stone
You ran to me, no hesitation
Robe and ring, full restoration
Your Spirit whispers, soft but clear
“Abide in Me, I’m always near.”
Like vine and branch, we intertwined
Your life in mine, my will resigned
You say, “I am the Bridegroom, come away.”
Like Song of Solomon on a summer day
Kisses of mercy, truth so sweet
Your banner of love covering me
(Bridge)
Let it burn like Jeremiah’s fire in my bones
Let it thunder like Ezekiel at the throne
Take this heart of wandering lust
Break it down, rebuild my trust
Not just Savior on a tree
But my First Love, pursuing me
Pierced hands still reaching out
Silencing every fear and doubt
(Breakdown)
You carried the cross through blood and dust
Crown of thorns for love like us
By Your stripes my weakness strong
You turn my mourning into song
(Final Chorus)
Jealous God with tender eyes
Truth that cuts through all my lies
Strengthen me where I am thin
Make my heart Your home within
Closer than breath, closer than skin
Beginning and end, Alpha within
I don’t want blessings from Your hand
I want Your heart, I want to stand
Right in Your presence, face to face
Held in covenant, wrapped in grace
Forever Yours, no in-between
My King, my Love, my everything
(Outro)
Back to the garden, no more disguise
Just me and You, no compromise
Write Your Word deep in my chest
Till my restless heart finds rest.
