Images of God made into human flesh
Perfectly created and so innocent
Looking out at all He made
The grand display
It was good indeed
Those were such happy days
They were not meant to be in a darkening sea of unholy influence
They were made to give thanks
And to praise and to dance
In the days of Eden
But it all slipped away on that sorrowful day
When they chose to stand alone
Yeah, they tried on that day to create their own way
That's why we need grace
Watching life evolve into a careless age
While an unborn child won't see the light of day
Looking out at all this
How God's heart must break
Knowing that the hope He sent
We laugh away
We were not meant to be in a darkening sea of unholy influence
We were made to give thanks
And to praise and to dance
In the days of Eden
But it all slipped away on that sorrowful day
When we chose to stand alone
Yeah, we tried on that day to create our own way
That's why we need...
We are not meant to be in this darkening sea of unholy influence
We were made to give thanks
And to praise and to dance
In the days of Eden
But it all slips away every time, every day
When we choose to stand alone
Yeah, we try every day to create our own way
That's why we need grace
So long the days of Eden (repeat)
God is love
God is hope
God has grace for us
Christ is love
Christ is truth
Christ brought grace to us
So long the days of Eden, Eden
So long the days of Eden, Eden
