Before speaking the world into being
God had a bold master plan,
To purge the world of the venom of sin
That reigned through rebellion of man,
As a father protects his children
So the The Tree of Life God had to ban,
That mankind would not live forever
In the grip of the evil ones hand,
But God’s Son would gain the victory
And while many would not understand,
Those who follow Christ as way, truth and life
Are set free from sin’s deadly demand.
