Master Plan

In the beginning, a tremendous explosion! The birth of countless suns Breathing with the heartbeat of nuclear fusion A plan unfolding, the Masters design A green blue planet, his Masters focus Creating the setting of life and existence His chef-d’oeuvre, a creature of his likeness To whom he gives his gift of conscience. In a garden called Eden, man fared well But only to fall to a serpents temptation Sin was upon man and to man death befell Cast unto the wilderness, upon his expulsion. Time came and time past His sinfulness unchanging, hope almost lost Then cleansing waters, upon the land was cast From the bowels of the earth to the peaks of frost. Upon the empty earth man multiplied Into the shadows some crept Some in the light, goodness exemplified But sin was still mans debt The Master so loved the world That his Son was born among men To pay the ultimate price, as prophets foretold That man may be saved from sin.
