Why does one die, why do all die?
\'Tis sure in life, there no deny
Adam and Eve in Eden there
Presence of the Lord God did share
They could eat of each tree but one
Of that tree to partake fruit none
It was the tree of knowledge, see
Of good and evil it sure be*
The Lord said if they of that tree
Did eat then the outcome would be
That they would surely die, but they
Tempted by serpent ate one day
Yet Jesus comes as Saviour to
Redeem mankind from death\'s curse, true
We all descend from Adam, Eve
Death comes to all and so we grieve
But Jesus the resurrection
And life He be, He God\'s own Son
Who lives in Him, in Him believes
Eternal life in Him receives

* but they could eat of any other tree,
including the tree of life.
