Green
I was recently driving through a burned out land
When I noticed the hills beginning to green
And I thought, “God, that’s what you do for my heart…
that’s what you do for my soul”
Where once there was darkness
Now, blades of green
Where once there were shadows
Now, your light
Where once there were trials
Now, your robe
Where once there was empty space
Now, your feet
With the life that died
I was sure it’d be too soon to see
Goodness for you and plenty for me
But your thoughts are higher than our thoughts
Your ways higher than our ways
The fire so recently tore through this land
But I noticed the hills beginning to green
