It started with a tree in a Garden

And the man you first made there to toil

Adam was his name

Procreation was his aim

As he broke and conquered all Your handmade soil

But Adam failed and ate the tree You said to not

He ate the lie and turned his back on Love

Sin broke the life and joy

Death's sneaky, wicked ploy

And Tree of Life no more could he lay hold of

So Your first plan was postponed indefinitely

As restitution was required to move forward

Necessary better Adam

Your Son would humbly come

The One all Heaven worshiped and adored

And where first Adam should have died on evil tree

For his choice to be the ruler of his life

Perfect Jesus now would die

Both in Adam's place and mine

As the cross became His tree of death and strife

Now because He rose again and rose to You

He will come one day to fulfill Your greater plan

Because a Garden was not all

You have a city strong and tall

Built 'round the Tree of Life where life began

Where first Adam chose death but did not die

Second Adam obeyed even to the cross

Though Adam's task met with defeat

Jesus' victory will complete

His blood the fire that purges all sin's dross

And it's not until we reach that final city

That all You have in store will be unveiled

This life is just the cover page

For greater glories come each new age

Sun not needed as Your beauty is detailed
