The Sin Story

In the beginning was God. Then, there was Adam and Eve.
Then, the devil came along and Eve he completely deceived.

Then, Cain slew Abel because he wasn't capable of keeping Abel's sacrifice.
Then, there was Seth - who did his best to take Abel's place.

Then, there was Noah, a righteous man, that God spoke to one day.
He said, "Noah, I'm going to send a flood to wash unrighteousness away.

So, warn the people to turn from sin and come in the ark to stay.
For, I will send a flood that will simply wash them away."

But, the unrighteous people just laughed at him and went their merry way;
Continuing in sin, not willing to bend from their wicked, wicked way.

So, then there was the flood that left pure mud and Noah and his family, too.
But, God destroyed all the rest ... as He said He would do.

Then came the Son, who said He wouldn't run for high office or any thing.
He said, "I come that I might save some, in spite of this wicked reign."

Well, He paid the price that we would have life, in spite of our sin and shame.
So, dear friend, all there's left to do is 'on Him simply claim'.
