God is just like any loving concerned parent Who sits in heaven looking down on his heirs apparent His children no two alike in spiritual appearance Unable to hear His message of love due to evil's interference
Perhaps it's because we're just content to remain earthbound Mesmerized by this old planet and its blood soaked ground Where man has sort Shangri-La's peace but it has yet to be found Not exactly what God intended when he laid earth's foundation down
Before the fall of Adam it was a far place A cradle of life designed for the building human race Where God could come down and talk to His children face to face Having given Adam authority to wear creation's crown with dignity and grace
Just think there were no problems, no need to pray The devil had not yet with man had his way But Adam chose to give his God given authority away To the devil under whose weight of evil we stagger to this very day
It was way back in the garden that our spirits began to atrophy Slowly losing our spiritual ability to hear and see Into God's heavenly realm where Jesus holds redemption's keys Ever interceding for us from the chains of darkness to be freed
That's why God's love pierced earth's darkness just in time To rescue all of us who had become in spirit deaf and blind In the form of Jesus who on the cross would sacrifice himself for mankind Substituting His righteousness for ours which was far superior by design
Jesus became the second Adam who didn't sin and got it right Destroying the works of the devil intent on killing us out of spite For without Jesus' intervention we were barely able to put up a fight Until Jesus came down to save us having seen the magnitude of our plight
