Fallen

The Lord said Breath, and we did.
The Lord said See, and we did.
The Lord said Hear, and we did.
The Lord said Feel, and we did.
The Lord said Taste, and we did.
The Lord said Smell, and we did.
The Lord said Live, and we did.
The Lord said Love, and we did.
The Lord said all things, and we listened.
The Lord said Do Not Sin, and we failed.
The one most important thing
And we failed the Lord.
We were weak; we had mortality;
We had flesh, He had Perfection.
We had words, He had The Word.
He gave to us all things
And we took them for granted.
If only we had listened!
If only we had known!
If only we had loved
Like he had shown us how to love.
If only we had listened!
If only we had known!
If only we had been
Like he showed us how to be.
