Graves Into Gardens
by Elevation Worship
Theology & Meaning
This song celebrates the transforming power of God who brings life out of death and beauty out of brokenness. It holds up the contrast between what the world offers and what God alone can do in raising dead hearts and situations. The language leans into resurrection imagery and invites people to trust that God can redeem even the most hopeless places.
Worship Leadership Tips
This fits well on Easter, baptism Sundays, or any time you want to highlight testimonies of transformation. It can follow stories of addiction, loss, or disappointment that God is redeeming and gives people a concrete way to respond in faith. Help your church connect the big language of the song with very real areas where they need God to bring renewal.
Arrangement Tips
Lean into the groove and let the band lock together rhythmically so the congregation feels the lift without getting lost. The bridge can be a strong moment but it helps to keep the tempo grounded so it does not become rushed shouting. Use dynamics so that when the song peaks it feels earned by the story you have been telling musically.
