What was the lesson in that garden?
Which choice brought sin, and death, and pain?
One taste that clearly had no pardon;
the bitter fruit of our disdain.
Each generation through the ages,
has borne these curses through and through.
Straight through the heart the battle rages,
this consequence of shunning You.
“Forgive them Father,” Christ was calling,
“For they don’t know what they have done.”
Who made the choice as we were falling?
God chose to send His Only Son.
The wage of sin yields only sorrow.
It takes its toll with every breath.
One choice brings hope for us tomorrow.
Our God keeps loving us to death.
What was the lesson in that garden?
Who heard the words which Jesus prayed?
One sacrifice would yield sin’s pardon.
One choice, in love: God’s will obeyed.
“Forgive them Father,” Christ was calling,
“For they don’t know what they have done.”
Who made the choice as we were falling?
God chose to send His Only Son.
The wage of sin yields only sorrow.
It takes its toll with every breath.
One choice brings hope for us tomorrow.
Our God keeps loving us to death.
One choice brings hope for us tomorrow.
Our God keeps loving us to death.
