The Forbidden Fruit

There is a tree in the midst of the garden I must tell you a story so I am begging your pardon A serpent, a snake in a forbidden tree said if you eat this fruit you shall surely see A lie he told using half truth the thing that resulted was quite uncouth Now man and woman that once had it all indulged their flesh and took a mighty fall Sin now entered into the human race a life complete in the Father it did replace The fruit was an apple or a fig so they say but it was the fruit of another I tell you this day Now we deal with the flesh that lives discontent always looking to another for the heavenly sent To be satisfied and just see it through is all the Father is asking us to do Now the price for our lives and freedom has been paid the blood was poured out and the foundation laid All that's required is to die to our pride to live life's in Christ so the Father can abide
