Man

~God created his image in man

molding him from clay with loving hands~

~He provided within man a soul

so his conscience would be in control~

~He gave man eyes so he could cry

so not to hold his tears inside~

~He gave man a mouth so he could eat

nourishment so hunger him wouldn’t defeat~

~He gave man ears so he could hear

the sound of danger whenever near~

~He gave man the means to work the land

so he could feed himself by his own hand~

~He gave man legs to walk away

and live to be another day~

~He gave man woman to call his mate

and warned him never to forsake~

~God gave woman one of man’s ribs

he took it from the section of his mid~

~So not to be below him or above

but to live as equals in God’s love~

~Satin enticed them to taste an apple to be wise

that’s the reason we’re born to die~

~Immortality man once had

before that day he made God sad~

~Taken from The Garden of Eden and sent away

never to return another day~

~Without immortality man would die

reproduction God would apply~

~He gave woman children to bare

and childbirth with great despair~

~God gave children hidden wings

to their parents joy they’d bring~

~Angels created by God in Heaven

and given the sweet touch of innocents~

~For the sake of the world and mankind

and for God’s own peace of mind~

~In the end God gave his only begotten son

to die on the cross for everyone~
