Lyrics
Sin Thing
It's about the sin thing Adam and Eve put us in
Disobedience on the wrong side of the fence
Wanting to know it all, only to head for the Fall
The Fall from grace, out of God's place
The Fall from grace, put out, displaced
Chorus
Why did they choose to disobey?
Why did they have to go astray?
Caught in this power seeking thing
When true power only comes from Him
Why did they choose to disobey?
Why did they have to go astray?
Not by power, nor by might
But by His Spirit, let's get it right
It's about the serpent and the distance that it went
Temptation and its welcomed invitation
Choices made, no reversing that charade
Come take a bite, turn on your light
Come take a bite, receive your sight
Chorus
It's about the guilt, the shame and the shifting of the blame
A place to hide, leaves to cover every side
Eyes opened by the creature that he named
Fell for its lies, dust you are, to dust return
Fell for its lies, had it easy, now get out and earn
Chorus
Two sons later open jealousy and strife
Led Cain to take his brother Abel's life
Generations and nations since begotten
Created in God's image, disobedience unforgotten
But Papa didn't leave us desolate
He sent His Son the Word incarnate
He laid down His life that we may live
What more could He possibly give
It's up to us to share the Word
Come on people haven't you heard?
About
The way out of the sin thing Adam and Eve put us in
His name is Jesus; He's the only way to win
He'll take us from the dust back to Papa once again
He first chose me: I've chosen Him
