Hope and Mercy Lyrics

In the Garden of Eden, so pure and bright,

God formed Adam from dust, gave him life,

Out of the ground, all the beasts did arise,

And in Adam's heart, there was light in his eyes.

Oh, Adam and Eve, in the garden they stay,

In the cool of the day, they would walk and they'd pray,

But the serpent was cunning, and led them astray,

Oh, Adam and Eve, in the garden that day.

From Adam's rib, God made Eve with His hand,

To be a helpmate, in this beautiful land,

They walked together, in God's perfect way,

Till the serpent came near, with a lie to betray.

Oh, Adam and Eve, in the garden they stay,

In the cool of the day, they would walk and they'd pray,

But the serpent was cunning, and led them astray,

Oh, Adam and Eve, in the garden that day.

"Ye shall not die," the serpent did say,

Eve took of the fruit, and then gave it away,

Their eyes were opened, but the price was steep,

From the garden they'd go, and the world they'd weep.

Oh, Adam and Eve, in the garden they stay,

In the cool of the day, they would walk and they'd pray,

But the serpent was cunning, and led them astray,

Oh, Adam and Eve, in the garden that day.

Now the garden is closed, but God's promise remains,

Through His mercy and love, He'll heal all our pains,

For in Christ, there's hope, new life, and grace,

Restoring the garden, in His holy place.
