The Tree in the Middle | Grace Notes

The Tree in the Middle — a Grace Notes worship song to rest in God's presence. This song is based on Genesis 3:1-4, written for anyone facing subtle whispers, sweet doubts, and questions about what to believe in daily life. Through the dialogue between the serpent and the woman in the garden, it reflects the quiet tension of weighing clever words against a familiar command. Created as part of Grace Notes, it offers a gentle, thoughtful space to pause, listen, and hold onto truth when faced with choices that test our foundations. 🎧 Listen to the full track on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/4eXuDx... How to listen • At night, when your thoughts will not settle — let it play quietly in the background. • During prayer, devotion or Bible reading — keep the volume low and let the words stay with you. • While you rest or work — as a calm background that does not pull at your attention. Lyrics (Verse 1) Walking through the green and quiet garden, where the LORD made every beast and tree. A creature walks with a subtle grace, moving softly through the field we see. We taste the fruit of trees around us, sweet and given by His hand so wide. Yet a voice speaks out upon the breeze, asking what is true and what is tried. (Pre-chorus) A quiet question lingers in the air, stirring up a wonder in the mind. We pause to listen to the words that whisper things we thought we left behind. Has God really said we must refrain, holding back what we desire to hold? A simple doubt begins to rise and grow inside the story that is told. (Chorus) Standing here beside the tree in the middle, where the leaves are green and still. We hear the voice that questions truth and bends the edges of a maker's will. The fruit is fair, but His command is clear: do not touch, lest we surely die. Caught between the sweet temptation and the word we hold against the sky. (Verse 2) The serpent speaks and says we will not die, softening the boundary of His grace. We linger in the quiet of the shadows, looking at the stillness of the place. The choice is near, the boundary is real, waiting for a step we soon will take. We hold the memory of His spoken voice, considering the path for safety's sake. (Chorus) Standing here beside the tree in the middle, where the leaves are green and still. We hear the voice that questions truth and bends the edges of a maker's will. The fruit is fair, but His command is clear: do not touch, lest we surely die. Caught between the sweet temptation and the word we hold against the sky.
