Up to the mountain
every morning I go
Come home in the evening
tired to the bone
Lord, won’t you teach me
how to show
the children of the mountain
how deep your love goes?
Down to the valley
every morning I go
Come home in the evening
discouraged to the bone
Lord, won’t you teach me
how to show
the children of the valley
how deep your love goes?
East of the Garden
every morning we go
Tryin to fix a bit of broken
in this old, tired world
Lord, won’t you teach us
how to hope
Cuz East of the Garden
is all that we know
All things bright and beautiful you made them all
The outcast and the lonely even me, though I fall
East of the Garden
every morning we go
Come home in the evening
and you’re with us, still
Lord, we see you teaching us
how to hope
Though East of the Garden
is all that we know, oh oh…
Because you made us a garden
for when we come home
