Adam's confession after the fall

Forgive Me , Eve

Because I did not take my stand
I passed on Death to every man

My rebellion brought forth death and sin
Forfeiting the Life that might have been

Thorns and thistles we now eat
Chaff is now growing up with wheat

Our descendents suffering sorrow and pain
The thief taking away what we’ve gained

Our children are now destroyed in the womb
Knowing no rest from birth to tomb

Anger and frustration doth abound
Blood flows freely o’er the ground

Displaced from our lofty estate
Angels gasp at our fallen race

Wearing not a crown of grace
But driven from our dwelling place

Looking at the garden thru a veil of tears
Instead of faith a spirit of fear

But look my Eve for the Son of Man!!
Who will establish God’s original plan

Paradise lost is now regained
Jesus has now borne our shame

Forgive me Eve as I am crying
For no longer will our race be dying

The last Adam has staked His claim
We now stand forgiven in His Name
