I think that... Phil Wickham has captured my desire to be in heaven in this song he wrote called Eden. These words just keep running through my head all day long, everyday. The words of being completely reconciled with God, living in perfection and COMPLETE peace. Where there is not one bad thing. Where we are in communion with God and our only knowledge is of Him and His beauty and goodness. Oh the levity and joy it brings to think of how marvelous it would be to be back in congruence with what He originally desired for us all. My desire is to be there, and so is my heart, because He desires it for us. Thank God for His son Jesus so that we can have it. Amen.

Eden

When the first light brightened the dark,
before the breaking of the human heart,
there was you and there was me.

Innocence was all I knew,
cause all I had to know was you,
we were running underneath the trees.

I want to see you face to face,
where being in your arms is the permanent state,
I want it like it was back then,
I want to be in Eden.

I remember how you call my name,
when I would meet you at the garden gate,
how the glory of your love would shine.

And I remember when the stars were young,
you breathed life into my lungs,
oh, I never felt so alive.

I want to see you face to face,
where being in your arms is the permanent state,
I want it like it was back then,
I want to be in Eden.

To be naked and unashamed,
in a sweet downpour of innocent rain,
I want it like it was back then,
I want to be in Eden.

Where my eyes can see the colors of glory,
my hands can reach the heaven before me,
Oh my God, I want to be there with you.

Where our hearts will beat with joy together,
and love will reign forever and ever,
Oh my God, I want to be there with you.
