Rebellion and redemption

A poem about the story of man and God's great gift.

By the breath of His mouth we became beings

Rich in spirit and overseer of Earthly things

After a short time there was deception

In exchange for knowledge we gave up perfection

Now we live in corruption, abasement and wrath

Sent far from Him and His peaceful path

The condition of man’s plight was sin

Over time a miracle was to begin

Risen to life away from death

Mankind was made pure from He who was sent

Every living waits for his second coming

Rejuvenation is kept for those who have longing

So the righteous will rejoice with eternal belonging
