The apple hung
without knowing fear
without knowing death
until temptation robbed it
and me and you
and all of life
and we must be charged
because we came from Him
whom created the temptation
that devoured the apple
that desired fear
and wanted death
for all of us to share.
But temptation
was not His intention
and death was not His answer
His choice was freedom
but we took advantage
of His generosity
desiring to have it all
and yet still He loves us
with His grace so amazing
that He gave to us
His only begotten Son
Whom conquered death
and wanted eternal life
for all of us to share.

The apple hung
without knowing fear
without knowing death
until temptation robbed it
and me and you
and all of life
and we must be charged
because we came from Him
whom created the temptation
that devoured the apple
that desired fear
and wanted death
for all of us to share.
But temptation
was not His intention
and death was not His answer
His choice was freedom
but we took advantage
of His generosity
desiring to have it all
and yet still He loves us
with His grace so amazing
that He gave to us
His only begotten Son
Whom conquered death
and wanted eternal life
for all of us to share.
