When he accepted

When he accepted the woman's request
laced by the snakes' charm;
the devil himself,
Bit that of the forbidden tree
the fruit, that deprived man of eternal life.
Knowledge he was promised; Disobedience in the eyes of the Lord,
Death he had to embrace.

But......

He came the one
All this on the cross He had to pay
With blood, to wash him
Free from sin.
A new home from Eden where first man was chased: A Kingdom He brought to mankind,
whose gates are opened
to those who walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
