David & Nicole Binion released their eighth record in 2020 titled, Glory of Eden, but the songs began to form more than two years ago when David was suffering from a corneal ulcer in his eye, which threatened to permanently take his sight. Yet while his physical vision was nearly gone, David's spiritual vision was clearer than ever before. He did the one thing that comes most naturally to him: he wrote it all down, raw journaling that formed the foundation for what became Glory of Eden. “It was like God was saying, ‘The devil’s going to try to take your vision, I’m really going to give you vision now,'" he recently shared.
After weeks of medical treatment, David eventually received a cornea transplant. Even in his darkest moments during this time in his life, David was in the presence of God like never before—an experience he can only describe as the “glory of Eden”—the birthplace of man, made in the image of God. Ever since the fall, humanity has been striving to get back to that garden. "I wouldn’t trade the experience I’ve had in the presence of God for the price that it cost me.” And With Glory of Eden, David and Nicole hope to bring a small piece of heaven back to earth.
Below, we take a look at the lead single while also going to back to their past to listen to one of their classic tracks.
NEW: "Living Proof" feat. Steffanie Gretzinger
Something scandalous/Happened to me
I was a criminal/Your blood washed me clean
I was destined for the grave/But You rose for me
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We all fall short. Desperately short. And the scandalous part of the story, the part that will make outsiders scream "guilty" and "not fair" and "let justice be served," should be one of the biggest parts of our worship. We don't deserve a seat at the table, but God gently lifts our head, looks us in the eyes, and says, "you are welcome, my child." Hallelujah, indeed.
CLASSIC: "How Great"
My God how great You are
How great, how great You are
A simple lyric with powerful resonance. How can our simple language even begin to adequately explain the greatest of our God? It can't. But when we can embed this truth deep into our soul, the worship and pure adoration that comes out can get us closer.
