When Adam was at his weakest
And sin’s arrow was draining his life
As blood spilled on Eden’s pristine soil
He and wife like ‘Jude the Obscure’
Were certain to face a wrathful future
Destined to die-huddled and tired
Forget the masses-they were not sired
God came on the memorable scene
With first aid to bandage the wounds
Lacerations of serpent’s roving rampage
The skin of innocent substitute stanched
The patient was well and truly patched
Strong enough to wait for the Redeemer
To arrive with knife of heart concision
From weakness then to strength
From destruction then to redemption
From hell’s despair to a home in the air
