Harmony Lost, Hope Restored

When life began eons ago,

God had a plan He wanted to unfold,

In Eden’s womb, an eternal flow,

God breathed spirit into man,

And from him, He created Eve,

A helpmate for life, together to thrive,

A partnership and unity between,

A bond and harmony, in eternal bliss,

There, humanity’s journey began,

In that sacred place, they met God face-to-face.

But evil crept into Eden, slithering in,

Eden lost its peace, strife began,

A serpent’s whisper created enmity,

With deceitful temptation, the serpent came,

Eve now lives to rue the impetuous decision,

Adam followed, harmony shattered,

For all mankind’s innocence lost,

Eden was no more.

In sorrow and pain, they were cast away,

To toil and strive, in the harsh land stained with sin.

But God gave them a promise,

A promise of hope, wrought from God’s love,

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and hers; he will crush

your head, and you will strike his heel.”

The Savior will come, to heal what’s broken,

To bear the sins that we inherited from them,

With mercy and grace, He made a way,

For all to find redemption in Him,

Thus restoring the bond between God and man.
