How beautiful the
flowers bloomed on Eden’s brow
The lion feeding with
the lambs together grew
And perfect peace
became the pledge for all to see
God’s awesome glory
and eternal majesty.
No virgin love could
ever match two hearts that day
As heaven’s Presence
followed them at work or play
The Tree of Life whose
leaves brought healing to all men
Gave Paradise one
glorious hue of color blend.
But pride began to
question freedom’s right to choose
The Serpent’s plan
apart from God seemed better news
So in the course of
time the fruit to make one wise
Became the sting of
death that caught man by surprise!
But why this veil of
night so cloaked in haunting fears?
Would man exchange
God’s righteousness for mortal tears?
It was the price that
disobedience had to pay
That formed this chasm
touching every man today.
Yet from the ashes of
despair the Lamb was slain
To bridge this
separation from sin’s crimson stain
So while He calls for
you to meet Him face to face
Receive this priceless
Gift of God’s redeeming grace.
