The Trees of Genesis and Revelation

Every day before us lies,

The knowledge of that tree,

Good and evil, right and wrong,

A haunting enemy.

 

Dogging now our every step,

Standing in our way,

For that knowledge there is now,

A price we all must pay.

 

Gone the life of innocence,

Swallowed up by pride,

Steeped in adversity,

No place for us to hide.

 

Adam ate the bitter fruit,

It now is in our bowl,

A pleasure to our eyes,

But bitter to the soul.

 

Yet leaves from the Tree of Life,

Are there to heal our nation,

Life-giving branches,

A means of our salvation.
