New Land - Eden's Bridge

On a hillside in the warm sun

Granite shining like ice

And the water sparkling, rushing

Through the earth black as night

Where the skylark sings above me

And the sheep graze at ease

In the silence, this new land

Summons each, all, and me

I had not seen, I could not know

What this new land would be

I had heard a piece of Heaven

Was waiting for me

From the barren to the verdant

From the crag to the dale

Once I’ve stepped out in faith

Then there s no turning away

I’ll fly, fly, headlong and free

Fly, fly, headlong and free

Why grieve for the pains that have been?

For the new land is calling to me

For the new land is calling to me

Every autumn has its winter

Every winter its spring

Ages pass and every dying

Means a new life begins

In the passing from the old land

There is sorrow and fear

But the night at its darkest

Means the dawning is near
