I imagine Eden
filled with evergreens
a forest flooded with
symbols of steadfast unchange
though seasons now rearrange
You have set the cadence
for all of our days.
Great are Your ways
which turn deserts into springs
and make my laments sing,
You are eternally nourishing
the source of flourishing.
Great are Your ways
that brought the three to see
by a bright Morningstar;
That’s illumination towards new creation,
a guiding light and intimation
of a living sacrifice for salvation
the Son of Man I rest my faith in.
Great is Your name
which brings comfort in exile
deliverance from the Nile
fortitude in trials;
The God of Exodus
my God whom rescued us
and made us anew,
my God who is with us
and sees us through,
Father of Jesus
By whose blood we are renewed;
do not grow weary
of my thank you.
For I submit in praise
and in humility gaze
at the wonders of Your ways,
in awe of the unfathomable;
Your evergreen love.
