Fallen: Revised

The Lord said Breathe, and we did,

One sweet, strong breath.

The Lord said Look, and we did,

The beauty of the world before us.

The Lord said Hear, and we did,

Sounds of praise and worship.

The Lord said Feel, and we did,

Wonders at our fingertips.

The Lord said Smell, and we did,

A sweet and pleasing aroma.

The Lord said Live, and we did,

A good life praising Him.

The Lord said Love, and we did,

Wholeheartedly loving Him.

The Lord said all things, and we listened,

We did what He said.

The Lord said Taste, and we did,

One taste too many.

The one most important thing

And we failed the Lord.

The Lord said Do Not Eat,

And we ate of the one tree.

We were weak; we were mortal;

We were flesh, He is Perfection.

We were nothing but words,

He is 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 obeyed

The perfect word of God!

If only we had listened!

If only we had known!
