Reflections on Genesis 2 - from Adam's point of view. He experiences the garden of Eden for the first time. He meets Eve and the first marriage in history takes place and he now calls her his wife.
lyrics
First breath breathing life
First time I’d open my eyes
I see such beauty set before me
Sunlight dancing through the trees
Up I look blue I see
The skies stretching out above me
Awe and wonder fills my heart
I can feel a gentle breeze
I hear a voice call to me
My name, I’m sure that’s my name
Adam - from the ground I came
Then I looked into my Father’s eyes
“So very good” He said of my life
But oh most precious would I find
The moment that He smiled at me
And He said; “My son”
In the garden full of life
Rivers splashing streams alive
Crabs and fish
Whoah!
I’ll call you hippopotamus
Birds are fluttering around
Singing with a chirping sound
Up high
I’m calling you an eagle
Awe and wonder fills my heart
Joy to see the world alive
Pairs of creatures roam around
But where is the one for me
Longing where is she?
Then I looked into my Father’s eyes
And I knew all would be alright
Willingly the deepest sleep
I give a little part of me
So I could see my Eve
The moment comes this is right
I stand here waiting for my bride
Here she comes oh what a sight
Walking by the Father’s side
Then I take her hands in mine
And we look into our Father’s eyes
He declares we are husband and wife
From the start this was on God’s heart
A man and woman forms their bond of love
As two become one
