Eden To Me
Eden to me is paradise so grand
With nature wonders of majestic brand
Earth’s haven as providentially planned
Lingering still --- oh, sweet musical land.
Marked with outstanding creation beauty
Showcasing landscapes and parks of serenity
Wafting blest air of zephyr’s purity
Refreshing hearts toward blissful tranquility.
Eden to me is paradise so grand
With nature wonders of majestic brand
Earth’s haven as providentially planned
Lingering still --- oh, sweet musical land.
Eden and gracious songs empower faith and soul
Reviving spirit for thanksgiving goal
To fulfill with joy* God-granted role
While praising His goodness, making life whole.
Eden to me is paradise so grand
With nature wonders of majestic brand
Earth’s haven as providentially planned
Lingering still --- oh, sweet musical land.
*Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
