the world was good, all that God created
all taking shape and form just as He had stated...
then came the serpent, crafty and lying
deceiving, distorting, degrading, denying
a taste was taken, then passed to the man
who tasted too, motion now given to the Master plan
sin entered, clouded minds, bringing curse, veiling the divine
sacrifices now required, atonement demanded
blood brought forth, not enough, final life from heaven handed
Jesus sent, as infant enters
fallen world around His life now centers
charges brought, cross erected
Jesus hung, no sin detected
blood streams down
cleansing, saving, unveiling, redeeming
hope restored, life is given
forgiveness won, promise of heaven
death for life
souls now secured
love is seen
eternal life assured
