For six days God created all things.
Then He looked upon it all and said it was good.
There was no sin; everything was at peace.
He provided for all of creation’s needs.
He told Adam to eat whatever he wanted
But not from one particular tree.
For if he did he would surely die.
This was the truth because God can’t lie.
God came down in the cool of the day
To love on the humans He had wonderfully made.
But they had sinned and were hiding in shame –
With no repentance but looking to blame.
God was saddened for He needed to judge.
For with no judgment on sin He can’t be right.
Their souls were dead indeed
Out of the garden – they were forced to leave.
But that wasn’t the end of God’s love.
He still loved what He created by His hands.
Despite all of this sin man had done,
God would send His only begotten Son.
He’d be born of the virgin Mary
For He had to be the unblemished lamb.
He would live a life committing no sin,
And preach the coming of His Kingdom.
He went to die on the cross wrongfully accused.
It wasn’t His sentence – it was yours and mine.
What were His final words for me and for you?
“Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”
Condemnation and judgment that was meant for us –
God put on His son, His beloved Jesus.
The Father accepted His Son’s holy sacrifice.
He raised Him from the dead – Jesus is alive!
He lives to this day for you and for me
Through His Spirit encouraging all to believe.
If we believe, we can be saved.
Our souls resurrected from eternity’s grave.
So we sing, sing to Jesus the King!
The possession of our souls He fully redeemed.
Yes we sing, sing to Jesus the King!
All praise and all honor we gratefully bring.
