lyrics

God created man from dust breathed in him life and gave him worth, he blessed his hands to work the land and manage all the earth, God placed the man that he had made within a garden filled with trees and they were full of fruit for food and beautiful to see, there they walked and talked in the garden beautiful they laughed and skipped and fellowshiped and named the animals

In the middle of the garden were two special trees with fruit one for life and one to know the evil and the good, God said you are free to eat from any tree that's good for food but do not eat the fruit to know the evil and the good, you will surely die when you disobey trust me to provide for you and show a better way

God made from the side of Adam so he wouldn't be alone, Eve his wife and his companion from his flesh and bone, then the devil as a serpent came to Eve and told her lies, "God is keeping this fruit from you surely you won't die" so they ate the fruit though God's command was clear, their spirits died they couldn't hide and they were filled with fear

When God came to find the couple they were hiding from his face and they were blaming one another for their sad disgrace, so God punished each of them for their part in the sinful crime, the serpent cursed even the earth has suffered since that time, he drove them from that land and from the tree of life he said "to dust you will return" to Adam and his wife

Yet God didn't leave them hopeless for he had a rescue plan, a Son would come to crush the serpent and bring life again, though all of us inherit sin and choose to turn again from God this Son has come to lead us from the evil to the good, Jesus is the one redeeming sacrifice he overcame death and the grave to give us a new life
