Was but a moment before sins' pain began,
Was in a bite of an apple, given to a man.
To eat of this tree of life, was unheard,
God's words given to Adam, but Eve failed not to hear.
Thus sin began to take an evil toll,
Still living in the world today, until Salvation takes its' hold.
To cleanse man that they may see God one day,
Salvation is only but one God's heard prayer away.
