about

Genesis 3 describes the fall of man into sin. Satan manifests in the form of a serpent deceiving Adam and Eve. They trade a kingdom for a lie. Sin enters into their hearts and the curse of sin now effects all of creation. But God intervenes and promises that from the seed of the woman would one day come a deliverer who will crush the serpent. The first sacrifice is also made when God slays an animal to clothe Adam & Eve. This is foreshadow of Christ the sacrificial lamb of God.

lyrics

God created all things perfect
He made everything good
He understood what was needed
To make a world and complete it
That’s when He thought of you

In His image He made Adam
Placed inside him every person contained
In his loins
Carried the seed of the nations
Adam’s descendants

But he couldn’t conceive, so God made another
One with a womb, Eve would be mother
Of every soul to ever walk the earth
She’d be the first one to give birth

In the garden came another
Fallen angel as a serpent he speaks
To the woman
Trading a lie for a kingdom
Earthly dominion

There stood Adam by the woman
Saying nothing also buying the lie
Eats fruit forbidden
Innocence lost, eyes wide open
Offspring now broken

So they both hid away, shameful and naked
Shying away from the call of the Maker
Freely they had chosen the sting of death
The grave open’d wide – in sin they would die

But God intervened made a sacrifice
An animal slain - the first to die
With the shedding of blood
For the sake of man
Their nakedness clothed by leathery robes

Tears on their face raining down
Life in God’s garden now gone
Creation starts groaning in pain
It’s beauty and splendour slips away

Hear the prophets through the ages
Always looking to the Saviour who’d come crush the serpent
Lifting the curse from creation
Bringing redemption

In the fullness of time
Came this sign
God would be born through a woman
Spirit conceived in a virgin
Reclaiming His kingdom

The light of the world
Invading the darkness
Breaking our chains
He’s freeing the hopeless
He’s binding up the wounds of our broken hearts
Jesus had come
God’s only Son

Giving His life as a sacrifice
Embracing the cross He pays the cost
Defeating death He rose up from the grave
So we can be clothed In heavenly robes
