LYRICS In the early spring, in a grove of trees, a young man knelt to pray. For the world He knew was a world confused, and He wanted to know the way. Then a pillar of light descended, and the Father and Son appeared. When they spoke His name on that blessed day, the whole world changed. Now there is more light to shine in the dark And more hope to fill every heart. More truth to know God is there And He will answer our prayers. More peace and strength in the storm And more power to gather us home. More faith to lead us closer to Jesus, our Lord. All because His gospel was restored. In a troubled time, in the growing strife, if heaven seems so far, Find a quiet place, put the world away, and ask with an open heart For the truth only God can give us, and the promise of joy and peace. And the time to come, like the rising sun, when the whole world will see That there is more light to shine in the dark And more hope to fill every heart. More truth to know God is there And He will answer our prayers. More peace and strength in the storm And more power to gather us home. More faith to lead us closer to Jesus, our Lord. All because His gospel was restored. All because His gospel was restored.
Beautiful. I have made up lyrics and melody for some hymns I made up but I don't play an instrument. I just sing them acapella. I really need to find someone who can hear what I am singing and come up with the fancy part that the piano or guitar plays.
I am a convert to the church, baptised on January 23rd, 2021. The gospel of the One True Living God is so beautiful and precious and I am forever grateful that as we seek Jesus Christ we will find him more and more. This song invited the Spirit to testify to me in my chest and I can't even explain how wonderful it feels!
Congratulations. You joined the winning side and it's much better because you just have to live right and not have to worry about so many consequences.
What a wonderful testimony. Congratulations on your baptism. The Lord's Gospel truly is the way to happiness and peace regardless of the circumstances that are around us.
A 9 year old primary child asked us to sing this today (we were outside), I had never heard of this song and the young girl sharing music via her phone did not have it. I told the primary child I would go home and learn it. I am so glad. The wonderful spiritual feelings this has brought to my Sabbath day have made me cry.
The Lord loves all of you and I bear my testimony as a special witness of Jesus Christ that if we but lean on Him during our trials and tribulations that we will find peace. Fear not
This song ...... Will keep all generations coming up and will bring all to the christ!! May God bless you all ! Praise God !! thank you for the song !! Is really blessed ❤❤❤😊
Once again, Shawna Edwards does what only Shawna Edwards can do! Thank you so much for putting to music the messages that we all feel in our hearts but don't have the talent to express.
Perfect time to hear these words! Much needed!! Such a beautiful reminder as we study come follow me and go through the unexpected in these times! Thank you!
We sang this song as prelude to elder and sis Choi devotional during FSY, and I just loved it so much. Really! the message coordinating with the music rhythm just allows me to be filled with the Spirit. It's becoming my favorite! I don't know but it just never fails me to have the witness of the Spirit no matter how many times I played the music! Thank you to all those behind this success! God bless you all. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Our whole family (27) of us learned The Tree of Life of yours last year and sang it at our Nativity. It was the most special song ever. Our grandkids would ask their parents almost on a daily basis if they could sing it to begin their day. Thank you for this one. We will be getting on it!

In the early spring, in a grove of trees, a young man knelt to pray.
For the world He knew was a world confused, and He wanted to know the way.

Now there is more light to shine in the dark
And more hope to fill every heart.
More truth to know God is there
And He will answer our prayers.
More peace and strength in the storm
And more power to gather us home.

All because His gospel was restored.
In a troubled time, in the growing strife, if heaven seems so far,
Find a quiet place, put the world away, and ask with an open heart
For the truth only God can give us, and the promise of joy and peace.
And the time to come, like the rising sun, when the whole world will see
That there is more light to shine in the dark
And more hope to fill every heart.

And He will answer our prayers.
More peace and strength in the storm
And more power to gather us home.
More faith to lead us closer to Jesus, our Lord.
All because His gospel was restored.

Praise the lord Jesus 🙏❤️❤️
Amen 🙏❤️
His gospel has been restored to earth. Beautiful song ❤️
