This track is the conclusion to the story, and the hope we have that in the end, all things, all relationships, all of creation, will be set to right. This is why we sing at all.
lyrics
In the center of the city
On a barren, rugged tree
Jesus bore the weight of evil
Purposing to set us free
Free from wisdom, ever fleeting
And our sinfulness so rife
He was raised, with new creation
Ushered in the age of Life
From the middle of the city
Flows a river, clear and wide
There’s a tree, whose produce giveth
Healing to God’s precious bride
Jesus is the nations’ Savior
God Himself, He is our Light
All creation will proclaim that
Everything is set to right
The Tree of Knowledge led all to death
The Tree of Death leads all to life
The Tree of Life will heal the world
And set this world to right
