Forbidden Fruit

 

 

 

1. In a garden of heavenly delights, self held a different meaning.

2. By disobedience our destiny was linked to a cross.

3. For while they obeyed, a life of purpose the tree gave

 

 

1. But life becamee abnormal, and in need of a redeeming

2.  The power of death now ruled, the power to obey was lost

3.  A testament to God's goodness, but man chose the grave.

 

 

1.  A radical change then came

2.  Time became an enemy

3.  A concept of wrong and right

 

 

1.  With the sin there was the shame

2. Became a lonely penalty

3.  Brought with it the deadly plight

 

 

1. and the need for a covering for blame

2.  Time blocked their view of eternity  

3.  Brought with it sin's awful blight

 

Finding forbidden fruit, we find that the fire will burn

 

 

In taking forbidden fruit, from God's will we still turn

 

 

Forbidden fruit still has its price,

 

 

Forbidden fruit demands a sacrifice

 

 

When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?
