Sin

Sin is just a little word
s--i--n  that's all
And when this sin entered man
It was the beginning of the fall.

The result of this is surely death
As we break God's command
Adam and Eve witnessed it
They witnessed it first hand.

It was that crafty serpent
Who led them both astray
Things haven't changed a lot
He's still doing it today.

But be assured and listen
To what I'm about to tell
God sent His Son Lord Jesus
Who conquered death and hell

He came into this world
To die for you and me
Now go and get a Bible
And read Romans chapter 6 verse 23.
