Long ago, in a paradise,
Now lost!
Stood a tree of good and evil,
With but one rule,
Do not eat of that tree, at any cost.
One man, one woman,
One garden to tend!
But not long thereafter,
Satan entered in.
Satan’s words,
Were cunning, deceiving and sly!
Convincing Eve,
To believe a lie!
Three in the garden,
Two bad choices, one by one!
Paradise lost!
Now there were none.
Paradise lost,
Meant man was too.
Exiled from the garden,
With no way back, what was man to do?
Though man be lost,
GOD knew what He must do.
Plant another tree that would not fall.
One that could cover,
All that will answer its call!
This tree would not be lavish,
Or pleasing to the eye.
The purpose of this tree,
Was entirely to die!
Time went on,
Until one night in another garden.
GOD’s plan took root,
For man’s full pardon!
This second tree was now ready,
To be planted on a hill.
As Jesus himself prayed,
Not my, but Thy will!
They planted the tree on Golgotha’s hill,
For less than a day!
But it more than enough,
To open the way!
A door that Adam closed unknowingly,
Was opened once again!
As Jesus Himself,
Took on our sin!
Many will travel through it,
Passing today!
But just like Adam,
Others will prefer their own way.
But unlike Adam,
in paradise lost!
There'll be no third tree,
to cover the cost!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
