Man's First Mistake
in the garden of Eden's bliss
one day a snake to Eve did hiss
take the ripened fruit from the tree
share it with Adam then you will see
so from the tree the fruit Eve did take
bringing about man's first mistake
they did not attempt to make amends
allowing God to forgive their sins
unrepentant to God, they disobeyed
He bade them leave Eden right away
It was an error of the worst
from that day on man was cursed
as arrogance to God is a sin
man had to rebuild His trust in them
God gave us a way through Jesus Christ
so He could come back into our lives
for It's not enough to just talk the talk
you must commit to walk the walk
so worship God and rejoice in His wake
a way to atone for man's first mistake
