How Sin Began

Why must there be sin in this world
A problem created by Adam and Eve
Just a foolish mistake they did make
What God said they did not believe

Forbidden to eat fruit from one tree
A serpent urged them to take a bite
Disobeying God’s command not to
They both knew that it was not right

So temptation of that beautiful fruit
Caused them to defy God’s Holy word
When they had eaten some of that fruit
God’s wrath very soon would be heard

Trying to hide themselves with fig leaves
God knew where they were and He said
You have committed a sin and I must say
For your sins some day you will be dead

So now we are all born with a sin nature
But God sent His Son to pay for our sin
If we will believe and worship God daily
He will open Heaven’s gate and let us in
