One man ate the forbidden fruit
Tempted by the shifty serpent
Suddenly he and the women felt shame
They had been misled
Felt naked and self-conscious
They had submitted and now
Covered themselves with fig leaves
 
They were confronted by the master
He admonished them and expelled them
From the wonderful land of paradise
We must learn from this
We cannot hide but we can choose
We cannot submit to others control
We do not abandon our principles
 
Demons exist in this world of ours
We are tempted all the time
It would be easy to give in
But shame would negate joy
Must not fall for a trick of the snake
Intuitiveness is marvelous
Denial of the truth takes us nowhere
 
Loaves and fishes must be shared
Failure to regard is unacceptable
The giving restores our pride
Also our sanctity
Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice
Gave to us the greatest gift
His dead body nailed to a tree
 
One man, Adam, lost our innocence
One man followed by many in sin
On and on until even today
One man, Jesus, gave us back our righteousness
One man bore the weight of our sin and the cross
This man also tempted by the devil did not give in
Worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him
