Story of Adam and Eve

Lyrics

Where are you Adam? Why do you hide from me?
Dressed in leaves among the trees, you and Eve.
Who told you you were naked? Who opened your eyes to see?
Tell me, Adam, did you eat the fruit of the tree?

Lord, I did take the fruit from my companion, Eve.
With just one bite I knew so much that I had never seen.
We put these leaves upon us, we were ashamed you see.
Just ask the woman. She gave the fruit to me.

Where are you, Adam? Why do you hide from me?
I know all that happened, you gave in easily.
Still Eve was first to eat the fruit and then draw you away.
What have you done woman? What have you to say?

The serpent beguiled me, and of the fruit I ate.
I should not have done it, but now it is too late.
He said I could eat from the tree and surely would not die.
Everything he told me was all just a lie.

Where are you, Adam? Why do you hide from me?
Everything I gave you, all except one tree.
For tempting Eve, the serpent on his belly he will tread.
He will bruise your heal, and you will bruise his head.

Lord, I know that you are just, and we are still to blame.
The sin we've put between us, we'll never be the same.
The skins that you have clothed us with really show us why
A consequence of sin is that someone else must die.

Where are you, Adam? Why do you hide from me?
Out of Eden you must go to dust eventually.
You'll work the ground and fight the weeds and that with little gain.
And woman you shall bear your child in much greater pain.

Where are you, Adam? Why do you hide from me?
One more thing that you should know throughout eternity.
Always pray to me for my love is so sublime,
I will forgive you and strengthen every time.

Where are you, Adam?
