Elevation Worship - 'Graves Into Gardens' (Live Music Video)
Music
"Graves Into Gardens" is the title track from the 11th career album from Elevation Worship. Recorded live at Elevation Church, Graves Into Gardens is a 12-track project that showcases the collective talents of the entire worship team while giving lead vocal spotlights to multiple worship leaders.
“Our hope is that this project would help listeners find new life in seemingly dead places,” says Elevation Worship’s Chris Brown. “To be releasing an album titled ‘Graves Into Gardens’ in the middle of this global pandemic feels very God-orchestrated. Across our world right now, more than ever, we need hope that a brighter day is coming, and the faith to believe that even though there’s a lot around us that seems despairing, Jesus specializes in resurrection. He specializes in taking the old and making it new. So, I pray that people would find God in these songs. And as they do, that their mourning would turn to dancing, and their heaviness would turn into praise.”
Brown continues, “I have to say the electric, live atmosphere that was captured on Graves into Gardens stands above our previous collections. There's not been another live recording of ours that has compared to the energy and spirit that was in the room that night. The significance of what we experienced was unmistakable, and I really believe it's a project that has the ability to transport listeners into that room filled with other passionate worshippers, but more importantly usher the presence of God into any environment it's heard.”
"Graves Into Gardens" Lyrics
I searched the world
But it couldn’t fill me
Man’s empty praise
and treasures that fade
Are never enough
Then You came along
And put me back together
And every desire is now satisfied
Here in Your love
Oh there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord there’s nothing, nothing is better
than You
I’m not afraid
To show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord You’ve seen them all
And You still call me friend
‘Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
There’s not a place
Your mercy and grace
Won’t find me again
You turn mourning to dancing
You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory
You’re the only one who can
You turn graves into gardens
You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways
You’re the only one who can
You’re the only one who can
