In the Garden of Eden
Man walked with God
Such intimacy was amazing
They walked on the lush green sod
But the Serpent
Convinced man to sin
To be redeemed
He would need a propitiation
This Fall
Would corrupt every man
All are affected by original sin
From the Garden, man faced a ban
But God was not
Done with man
Out of love
To earth came the Son of Man
He alone
Would save the human race
Look at Christ the Lord
See His face
God predestined His Elect
They were not chosen
Because of any inherent quality
Man’s soul was broken
The Holy Spirit
Quickens faith in the Elect’s soul
It goes from spiritually dead to alive
We are made whole
Regeneration precedes faith
We are saved by God’s sovereign grace
Totally depraved are we
Before salvation, we are in a bad place
But Christ is a mighty Redeemer
At Calvary, He suffered and died for our sin
The spotless Lamb bore God’s full wrath
But He would eventually win
On the third day
Of being dead in the tomb
Christ resurrected
He banished the gloom
Jesus is the God-Man
Fully human and fully divine
He defeated death, sin, and Satan
Jesus is the true Vine
The Elect are God’s chosen
We are regenerated instantly
And we’re saved by grace alone
Through faith alone, you see
