The First Day I Put Clothes On
The First Day I Put Clothes On
I was in the garden just me and my wife
This shortly after been given life
Was no rain, no weather then
All we had was just our skin
But alas this creature maybe that I've named
Came and told my spouse everything
So he seduced her and told her everything
On how we knew as much and maybe more than the creator
In advance we were told not to eat
None of the tree of the forbidden fruit
Ahh! but again we were beguiled
As the creature said you won't surely die
So first my naked wife took the fruit
Placed it in her mouth she bit of it
Then offered it up to me she said
Go on, it's O K
Now the winds came upon me
And the power of God was walking
And He spoke to me, and said...
"Now I see did you bite of the tree I told you not to eat"
I got cold in quilt and shame
I called on His name
I said to His looked Him in the eyes
And said this woman YOU gave me say it's ALL RIGHT
God said WHY WERE YOU HIDING
I said I was scared and afraid and naked
God said WHO TOLD YOU WERE NAKED
Ahh! I guess this man the serpent
Ahh! but again we were beguiled
Now the winds came upon me
So you see the real first pair of clothing was not animal skins
But the shredded articles of my first SINS
All we had was just physical eternal life on this earth in our skins
I was wrong...............
This is the first day I put clothes on
