[00:31.08]There's a garden my brother started months ago
[00:37.14]Though he prayed for harvest, it now lies overgrown
[00:45.77]He shuffled earth but never sowed a seed
[00:52.33]Only his doubts took root and they chocked his faith like weeds
[01:00.62]But when his nerves returned, he went to face those empty beds
[01:08.25]And found the earth had given birth despite his promises unkept
[01:13.89]
[01:31.69]Brother Micah feared the seeds he'd sown
[01:38.75]And he prayed for mercy from crops he knew would surely grow
[01:46.40]But there's no way to hide the shame we plant at night
[01:54.22]They may lie dormant but blooms will always find the light
[02:01.97]If there was only justice in this world, he'd be alone,
[02:09.72]With his heart still left in parts that he could never whole
[02:17.03]But now I ask you of his bride: "Friend, do you see that rose?"
[02:24.97]She is the loveliest crop failure he will ever know
[02:35.09]
[02:37.91]We plant, water and worry
[02:47.69]But we don't have any control of the harvest itself
[02:59.19]But, oh, the Messiah, He is not like us
[03:10.32]His power is endless and He won't break His promise
[03:22.19]And there's still a garden, sown at the foundation
[03:33.39]It's ripe with redemption and spreading its roots
[03:42.13]Bless the storm for the rain
[03:44.45]Bless the Lord for the proof
[03:50.20]That the harvest is soon
[03:56.13]And I know that it's true
[04:01.70]Cause I have seen the first fruits
[04:06.82]We are the first fruits
