Sin came into the world,
Death came because of sin;
As one life had unfurled,
A cancer spread within.
So death spread to each one,
Since everyone sinned;
For what Satan had done,
Man was not disciplined.
Sin surrounded this place,
Prior to any laws;
No record to erase,
To indicate the flaws.
Yet, death ruled from the time,
Adam walked on the earth;
But God made it a crime,
Gave Eve a painful birth.
Nothing written to say,
Till Moses came along;
How then we should obey,
So we do nothing wrong.
Compare not of the gift,
From God and the failure;
His kindness will uplift,
Your faith in the Savior.
The verdict which follows,
The failure of one man;
Sends all to the gallows,
With limited lifespan.
It is certain death rules,
More sure you will receive;
If you follow not fools,
Rather Christ you believe.
Sinful lives came from one,
Through disobedience;
But God had sent His Son,
To be our only defense.
Sin ruled by bringing death,
But God brought approval;
In giving a fresh breath,
And for sin removal.
