Sins Entrance


The Bible says we all have sinned
And come short of God's glory
When we take the time to read
We see it's quite a story
For it tells how Adam and Eve
The very first He made
Sinned and had to leave their home
What an awful price they paid

They could have lived forever
In the garden where they were
But they listened to the tempter
Whose heart was far from pure
He told them they could be like God
He said they wouldn't die
So they took and ate the fruit
God said they shouldn't try

So sin came into the world
A world so clean and pure
God became so angry
For sin He can't endure
So all down through the ages
Mankind has always sinned
Because of that first day
When they let the tempter in.
