The First and Last Covenant

In the beginning There was lie and truth. It was the birth of sin. God gave man the chance in truth But man after his own will The freedom given through good Was used to do bad. Man gave way to sin Then sin produced seed in man's nature. Man in God's mercy sought what to do So in man's heart: Good did know bad, bad did know good. Man broke the covenant with God through the first man Adam. God's plan was not complete As Adam thought it had. Selling earth to Satan Was not God's plan Man was overcome by the troubles of sin And to do good he had to suffer. That was the way of the world Then God send His only Son And through Him He got What was lost. Which is God's New Covenant To forgive by grace What we had done Atoned for by God's new plan. It is the time of a new face Of God's Sons in God's Race Through the first man Jesus.
