  • I'm an agnostic atheist, but if there's one thing I believe in, it's the beauty of music. I appreciate this song regardless of my religious views.

  • nice song, BUT: evolution<3

  • Love this song! Bryan of VOTA played it last weekend. Can you say amazing?

  • ang awesome po nito... God is with you :)

  • I feel like this is the cry of every human heart, whether they know it or not. He is all we truly need. He is everything. We were created with a hole in our hearts, and only one thing can fill it!! We were created for Him! To love Him and be loved by Him! Only one thing satisfies. Every person will search and search for purpose until they find Him. There is no peace and purpose apart from the one true God who loves us incredibly!!!

  • Beautiful song! 

  • Awesome Song! Heaven is gonna be amazing!

  • I LOVE YOU GOOOODDDD <3

  • @graciegrace99 Actually heaven will be a restoration of the earth to like it was before the fall of mankind. So, it will be just like Eden, which is incredible, but not necessarily better. Just thought I would drop a theology bomb...boom!

  • @graceofannarbor isn't there supposed to be a new heaven and a new earth? so wouldn't Heaven be a little different than just a restored old earth?

  • @Coolaid9876543210 Yes, there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth so it will be different then it was in Eden, I'm sure, but it'll still have some similarities. For example, both places will be good and perfect. Another similarity is that God will have very close contact with us. He walked in the garden and some day he will live among his people like that again. Revelations 21 tells about it.

  • @EhnaRivekan It's funny to talk about God and heaven with such extreme confidence or 'faith'. "I'm sure, but it'll have some similarites." Does anyone listening to this commercial Christian rock not understand the problem with capitalism and the production of material things. The existence of such things is predicated upon manufactured necessity. Think about it. But keep thinking your living a perfect life : ) O and buy this stupid album that probably cost 50k + to produce.

  • @agoodnitecry I was basing my answer off of scripture which I believe in but am fully aware that a lot of people don't agree. And if you don't agree or believe, that's alright with me. I never want to fight about it. Useless to do so anyway. And if life was 'perfect' it wouldn't really be life if you know what I mean :). I never bought the album but I like the music so I listen to it on youtube :).

  • @graceofannarbor Actually Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

  • This song is absolutely beautiful! I cant get enough of it, God truly speaks through Philly!

  • @graciegrace99 When Jesus comes back to earth & takes us all to heaven, Im gonna look for you :D we'll tell Mr. Wicjham how me & you met thanks to his song :) so where we gonna meet?

  • I got to see him live tonight! His music is just amazing!!! I love it. :D

  • This song is incredible! He captures the innocence and perfection exceptionally well at 0:46 at that little music box-esque tangent!

  • @ryanoneillmusic preach it! :) haha

  • @graciegrace99 Jesus never said anything about Heaven, all he said was Paradise, look it up.

  • my name is Eden and i love his song safe

  • love it love it...isn't God AMAZING?!?!

    I want it like it was back then, I want to be an Eden! <(")

  • my name is eden

  • We were running underneath the trees, Amen :) i pray to know God i pray for a deeper knowing for him and will thru Christ jesus, i wanna be with them always,im so deep in love with jesus, i love feeling the gift of the holy spirit thru the son jesus christ which dwells the Father

  • thank you for uploading :) i really love this song!! God bless you :)

  • @graciegrace99 so u cant wait till u die?

  • Phil ever since I heard this song. I can't get enough. I picture how it would be in Eden walking and talking with our heavenly father. i believe God is going to use you more for his purpose to reach the lost. gmulloon@yahoo.com

  • @graciegrace99 None of us can wait until Our Master in Heaven calls us all home. The Garden of Eden may have been a beautiful place, But the bible tells of an unimaginable place, where the streets are lined with gold, and the gates are made of pearls more beautiful than anything on Earth, and where we may walk and talk with our Creator, who's presence we are not worthy to be in, but are allowed to because of His grace.

  • wow,ive listened to this song over and over tonight! love it!!

  • i love this song!!

  • i absolutely love this song!!!! 

  • Marry me Phil!!!!!

  • @MissDreamzzz sorry, he's taken

  • Holaaaa lucy babessss :)

  • Dear Those eight poeple who disliked.. why?

  • Imagine.. if our world was eden.. imagine if everyday we walked beside our God and talked to him, wouldnt it be amazing? If we could live in pure peace, no war, no pain, no sin.. oh how i wanna be in eden! We love you God <3

  • @freeeekyyy I've been through times like that, i understand!

  • Eden is amazing, i love this song! I could listen to it forever! <3

  • makes me hard for JC.

  • Comment removed

  • I am so Buying Your album !

  • @Jesusfreak5397 YOu are blessed child my dear, and Christ loves you. He will never leave you!

  • 8 People aren't in Eden.

  • @RawrMrGreen 8 people don't know what beautiful music is.

  • @Jesusfreak5397 God loves you swettie, and just trust Jesus in everything you do because he loves and cares for you. keep the faith and keep praying!!!!

  • "I wanna see you face to face, where being in your arms is the permanent state." Love this song ♥

  • This was his first sang he sang at my church last night =] he's awesome

  • its funny, we can actually go to Eden. Right now. Just ask God to take you

  • This is so right because we should wnt to be in Eden,communing with God face to face.

  • great song i keep listen to it on repeat for hours love it!

  • @cellobaby97 I went to the OneThing regional n Orlando, Fl. Matt Gilman sang this there. :D

  • great song

  • I love this song, it reminds me of when Jesus made Himself real to me.

  • :)

  • i listened to this live on thursday on the 30 by Jaye Thomas and Cory Asbury done at the kansas city convention center for IHOP'S onething 2010 this week :) ....sooooo cool :) i love this song.... i would give my life if being in his arms was a permanent state :)

  • @cellobaby97 I was at Onething too!! Such a great conference! :)

  • I saw this live two days ago at WYC :D

  • Phil Wickham is so anointed!!! :D

  • @godisgracious117 Just like you and i are ;D

  • Phil Wickham is amazing.

  • I caught myself singing this song on my way to work but worded differenly," I want it how it was back then....I wanna be with Jesus". I thought, "wait....that's not how it goes" but then I thought about it, "Jon....even in the garden Satan and temptation existed. If Adam and Eve hadn't bitten that apple, somebody would have and screwed up for everyone one else. Wouldn't you rather be in heaven where that chance doesn't exist?"

  • @themou2008 Yeah I agree

  • @themou2008 Eden was paradise though, so in some sense... We will be in Eden again. But without the possibility of temptation admittedly. So I think Phil's choice still works

  • "To be naked and unashamed

    In a sweet down pour of innocent rain

    I wanna be in Eden."

    <3

  • "Innocence was all i knew, cause all i had to know was you". Best line in the song, so meaningful :)

  • @klaze1996 don't forget the serpent who would've tempted youl

  • weird

  • at Frenzy 10 he was one of my favourites, I checked him up on spotify and found this song, it hits me with all of it's lyrics, "I want it like it was back then, i wanna be in eden" that was our perfect time. that is almost as if we were in heaven and following God we are going to an even better version of EDEN.

  • I heard this song first at onething '10 in Fremont. It touched me so much :)

  • shame on the 7 people that missed the like button.. try haveing better aim. cuz this song is absaloutly amazing

  • The only thing I dislike about this song is the fact that it ends too soon :D

  • Comment removed

  • This song always brings tears to my eyes just thinking about what Christ has in store for us when we join him in his holy kingdom. God Bless all :)

  • this song makes me float in happiness :DD

  • Phil Wickham definitely knows how to describe the awesomeness of our SAVIOR.

  • It came to pass, when Adam went forth from the Garden with his wife, outside, to the east of the Garden, they made themselves a hut to live in and went inside. Their tears fell ceaselessly and they spent their days in unison of mind, weeping and saddened, and they said to one another, "We are far from life."

  • "I want to be an eaaaaagle!" :D

    Awesome popilicious ccm :)

  • @gruntsbaneook ...he's definitely saying "I want to be in Eden"

    :)

  • @gruntsbaneook hahaha when i first heard the song i thought the same thing :D!

  • Favorite song he has ever written right here

  • i think this one's my favorite :D

  • Justin Rizzo sang this song! soo good!

  • Whoa. This song is stunning.

    I want to be in Eden!!!!!!!

  • This is the best thing i have EVER heard. (':

  • if you like this song, check out the music video/cover that we made for this =)

  • Wow. I need this album :)

  • is it just me or does this guy sound like he could be bono's son?

  • @jm02551 Hah, definetely. And Matthew Bellamy's brother (Leadsinger in Muse).

  • WOOOOW!

  • my sister thought it was i want to be an eagle

  • I enjoy this song so much, I don't even notice it's 3 minutes

  • I LOVE this song!!

    Have any one you ever heard of the International House of Prayer in KC-Mo?

    They have a 24/7 live prayer room and there is a man named Jon Thurlow who sings this song!! iluvit! If you wanna wach the webstream go to IHOP.org and watch for free!! :D :D :D

  • @forveverfaith i live in kansas city and go to IHOP here its amazing i love it so much

  • @forveverfaith

    i love it when any of the worship leaders do this song. But jon thurlow does do it very amazingly. lol. BUT i love it when they do cannons soooo good. And at fascinate Laura Hackett did Divine Romance. Yeah it was epic. But yes ihop.org...it just might change your life...

  • @iTBRACHiEBBY730

    I love when they sing any song from phil wickham!! lol

  • @forveverfaith I've heard of the IHOPrayer!

  • great song changed my life

  • Phil Wickham is definately one of the most talented artists there are, and the fact that he is a devoted, born again Christain makes it 100,000x better!

    I saw him live at Countryside Christain Center about a year or so back... maybe a little more, when he was performing songs from his "Cannons" album, and it was simply awesome.

    His new CD consists of 12 amazing songs, every one is great, and some of the best Christian music available.

    Keep up the excellent work Phil! and God Bless!

  • God is so good, his mercy amazes me, his grace humbles me, his story touches me, i love him <3 i cant wait to see him face to face, i cant wait to be in his presence, it will be a wonderful place, ! i cant wait to cry no more tears, and have NO fears! im here for anyone who need guidence, i wont judge you, cause i have been where you have been , and if it wasnt for this AMAZING God of ours, i would still be in the dirt! But thanks to him i am uplifted. <3

  • stuck in my head stuck in my head stuck in my head stuck in my head stuck in my head stuck in my head stuck in my head lol lol lol lol lol lol lol i love this song XD!

  • stuck in my head stuck in my head stuck in my head stuck in my head lolololol this is a really catchy and good song! luv it XD

  • i love this song. i heard it at camp. and i love it. it makes me want to praise the Lord even more :) "oh my God i wanna be there with You!"

  • The song's amazing :D But why the arguing? For you Atheists, please don't try to change what we believe. We Christians are simply expressing our appreciation for this song and God in our comments, so it's not really necessary to tell us we're "idiots" for believing in "bullshit." We respect you. Show us the same respect.

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song, i went to a christian confrence in florida calvary chapel, and every time we had worship he came and played, i got him to sign my shoe:), haha and then on the second to last night, he and leeland played a concert:) he is sooo amazing!!! he is truely an acoustic genius Btw, he helped me catchafire again:)))

  • brilliant lyrics!

  • God is so aw-e-some. i agree with phil: we all long to be in Eden with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus, please come to save those that are not saved by Your Righteous Right Hand already.

    Amen!

  • I can't wait for Desperation next week!

  • i wanna be in eden tooooooooo

  • how can someone listen to this and NOT want to be in Eden?? :) :)

  • @briakulp5 dude, i sooooo agree with you, man! EDEN!! we want to be there with You, God, take us there to be in your glory! AMEN!

  • this has got to be my new fav Phil Jam !!!

  • I live in New York City and I was at the Phoenix (Mesa) concert when I was there for a vacation. The whole concert was very good. The show was well put together. Not sure where they are going next, but if they are going somewhere near you, I would say don't miss it.

  • literally just got out of phil wickham's concert about a half hour ago. he is soooo gorgeous in person. ;p

  • he is so much better live!

  • "where being in your arms is the permanent state"

  • AMAZING!

  • i love this song =]

    i love the way scientists cant actually prove the big bang yet they beleave that that what we say is rubbish - by the way deleriouse has been in the itunes top 5!

  • @poopcastmovi There are plenty of scientists who believe in the Lord and in the inexplicable. :) Science is how we explain what God has done and how the universe that he made works - they don't have to oppose each other.

  • @cattieloves I didn't say that scientists weren't Christian, i was just noting how non Christian scientists commonly believe that - although i can see that how i phrased it was wrong

  • im a dancer that heard this song in dance class, ya there is no way to have enough vocab to do this song justice. It has the anointing of God all over it. I love you Lord. <3

  • Even though I am only 14 i grasp the message in this song. If it wasn't for my boyfriend, Veniece I would have never turned back to God. I love this song so much and the blessings God has given me that I am singing this song in honor of our heavenly father at a talent show. I thank God for everything.

  • Also those of you trying to understand the creation of the universe Proverbs 3:5-6 that is all I love this song!!!!!

  • I love you God thank you for everything. Phil God has truly annointed you to sing from you heart don't ever stop. New Jerusalem I can't wait.

  • Hey guys. You should try going into a forum. Leave this song alone! ;] lol.

    nah seriously, can ya'll take this outside or someteeng? (no hard feelings)

  • @BubblesSleeps

    making up your own evidence doesnt count as evidence for christianity.

    although, tbh, i've heard worse theories than christianity.

    a gay christian once asked how do we know it's adam and eve,and not adam and steve, and i said, becuase providing the bible is based on fact, we wouldnt be alive if it were to men

  • first time i heard this song i couldn't get enough of it . lv this song .x

  • this is an amazing song. i'm so glad there are singers out there that aren't afraid to preach the good news of jesus and of the bible. to all those who don't believe the message of the bible, i'm praying for you, because god and jesus are really the most amazing things to have as part of your life. open your heart to jesus, and everything in your life will fall into place. jesus loves everyone, give him love back.

    peace be with you all(:

  • Amen. MUSiicxxLOVER Amen. I too was once making meaningless speculations, until God opened my eyes to the Good News. ONE WAY JESUS!!!! Thats a good song too.

  • Until humans truly understand eternity (which they never will) they cannot grasp God from a scientific approach. To experience God you must drop all your assumptions and explanations and open your mind.

    Humans think of everything in terms of chronology. God created time to govern us when he separated the day from the night. Nothing governs God. Science cannot disprove nor prove God because God isn't governed by science.

    Open your mind and free your soul. Forget about nonsensical arguments.

  • Beautiful song, loved it shame about the religious slaughter you idiots seem to so enjoy talking about. Tell you what Gods real prove me wrong... you do that then I'll approve of your none sense lectures on things you don't really understand - nor have the intellectual capability to comment on.

  • science is just the rule put in place

  • Keep Reppin Our Lord Out There Man!!

    God Bless!!

  • Such an amazing song! :)

  • Great song.

    Now my views on my religion, growing up in a very religious catholic home.

    I have been very religious throughout my life but... still as I have grown older and less ignorant to science and other things. It's become apparent that all of my beliefs were probably untrue. It's hard to believe but... how can you disprove science. You cannot say it is work of the devil, if it saves lives. Have you ever questioned? What if one day you die and there is nothing. Just speaking my mind.

  • its ok to think like that sometimes! we all have! But may i ask, if science is so real, then how is it that our earth is so perfectly in place that if we were only a few feet closer wed burn up by the suns heat, but if we were a few feet away, then wed freeze to death. Scientists have agreed with this fact but believe that it all happened by change, i think only ONE person can do that, thats God :)

  • now, I can argue with that. Science almost proves that the universe is infinite, but HAS proved that millions of galaies and hundreds of millions of stars in each gallaxy exist. Now, we may be one of the thousands, or millions hat have habbitable sercumstances. But I'm semi-religious, I believe in God and Heaven and Hell. And dissagreewith the "Big Bang Theory" but, there's always that posibility. The universe is just one massive roulette real and having a "living planet" is the green square

  • ew..i had some horrible typos there O.O

  • @blompy2 no worries.

  • @blompy2 i agree with that, ever seen photos from the hubble (idk if thats spelled right) telescope? its amazing! there over millions of galaxies in the universe!

  • @blompy2 well the big bang theory really does make alot of sense. if our universe is expanding, and it is proven that it is, then at one point in time all of the galaxies must have been at one point in the universe, all huddled together. and massive blob of energy. as that energy built up it created a massive explosion sending millions of tiny bits of matter flying in every direction. our universe is 3.75 ±0.17 billion years old. alot can happen in all of that time. something to think about.

  • @Glog25 to be honest, i dont see how it makes any more sense then what the bible says happened. It all comes down to this, there was never nothing, how could there be? how can an explosion come from complete nothingness? Where did the "blob of energy" come from? So surly its perfectly plausible to say Someone/something that has always been ( aka God ) created it? My opinion of course but science just seems too narrow minded, if it doesnt seem to fit with its own "rules" its just dismissed.

  • @mumatua ah but see tis the same with religion. and another question, where did god come from? if he was always here, could it not be the same for a massive amount of energy built up over time?

  • @Glog25 Which is where both our beliefs collide, the beginning of it all, science cannot explain the beginning any more clearly than the bible does, its a concept beyond our understanding. Personally, if i didnt know, and had to choose, i'd choose the option that has hope and gives life meaning and purpose. After all, what is there to lose if im wrong? Nothing is the answer..:)

  • @Glog25 you have your thoughts, so does every body. so i will share mine. i believe that science is the work of God. you said that it saves people right? so that is God working through his creation of science to save people. i believe the only reason people think that science is the work of the devil is because its all about evolutiona nd big bang theory and yada yaada yada. but heres my point, God created science for the good of people, to save.

  • y r u guys so negative? dis's like my

    48vorite song!!! so luv it or leave it!!! <3

  • a theory is not just a theory.  a theory is based on facts.

  • can't people just shut up and enjoy the music?

  • Such an awesome song.

  • ♥ this song. reminds me that we are sinners and one day God will come.

  • If you just ask for forgiveness you are no longer a sinner. Then ask for God to inhabit your life and then you are a child of God. If a thief stops stealing and rehabilitates, he is no longer a thief.

  • I think everyone has there own opinion & you guys are just voicing yours.But there is confliction that the book of Genesis is a story with an underlying meaning. The book 'The Origin of the species' by Charles Darwin proves it.Humanity began millions of years before Eden. u would no that If u read the Bible contextually. u would also see that the whole book of Genesis contradicts the scientific thruth Darwin studied.But again that is just my opinion, no one needs to agree with it.

  • @07alexandrepato Darwins theory is just that, a theory, its not truth, it was just his opinion at the time.

  • Comment removed

  • Alright, i agree that its just a theory. But no matter there is scientific proof that humans were around a long time before the bible was created. And that isnt a theory. Humans evolving from apes, is a theory. yes I agree. But its all we have. Someone had enough balls to stand up and say what he thought was the truth. Scientists today have taken that theory and expanded on it. Whether you choose to beeve it is up to you.

  • Good job soaking up the bullshit arguments popularized by society. "Just a theory" is a VERY contradictive statement.

    A theory is the highest level of scientific "proof" that exists.

  • what about a scientific law?

  • @hadntman1 :):) <3 my point is proven :L lol
