Verse 1
In the garden where the rivers flowed,
God gave life and called it good.
Hands were made to tend the earth,
Hearts to treasure heaven's worth.
But greed arose and claimed the throne,
Turning gifts to things we own.
Power spoke with pride and fear,
Leaving scars that still appear.

Pre-Chorus
The forests cry, the oceans mourn,
A world once blessed is bruised and torn.

Chorus
When greed took the garden, love lost its way,
Justice grew silent while the strong held sway.
The poor were forgotten, creation sighed,
As rivers ran empty and hope slowly died.
Yet God's redeeming light still shines above,
Calling us back to stewardship and love.
To heal what we've broken, to answer His call,
For the Creator still cares for us all.

Verse 2
Walls were built where peace should stand,
Wealth was gathered in selfish hands.
Voices silenced, truth ignored,
Power ruled instead of the Lord.
Fields lay barren, skies turned gray,
Children searched for hope each day.
Every nation bears the cost
When God's design is sold and lost.

Pre-Chorus
But mercy speaks beyond our shame,
The cross restores what sin has stained.

Bridge
We are stewards, not owners alone,
The earth belongs to God on His throne.
Let mercy flow like rivers again,
Let justice rise among all men.
Until creation sings once more,
And Christ renews the earth He formed.

Final Chorus
Though greed has wounded land and sea,
Christ has come to set us free.
We'll choose compassion over pride,
With truth and grace our faithful guide.
For every neighbor, every tree,
Reflects God's holy majesty.
We'll live as caretakers until that day,
When Christ makes all things new forevermore.

Outro
From broken hearts to a healed creation,
Our hope is found in Christ alone.
The King is coming, all will be restored—
All glory to our faithful Lord.
