Nature or the Cities
The scriptures say that Jesus is the Way the Truth the Life
The image of the Father come by grace amid the strife
That clouds the minds of evil men who seek to do us wrong
Who gather us like cattle when we live among the throng
Of those who seek the worldly ways that lead to vice and sin
Abundant in the cities where the people gather in
Like herds meant for the slaughter knowing not the Way of God
Nor caring for the simple path that He would have us trod
They tell us how the garden was the first created home
Abundant with the lessons as the two of them would roam
The paths of illustration lined with beauty from the hand
Of Him Who by the power of His Word made them to stand
The two who were our parents who were not supposed to die
But who were meant to train the earth to please their Maker's eye
Through all of their endeavors while exploring here to know
The depths of God's intentions as He wanted them to grow
More like Him in His fulness one in purpose thought and plan
Unique as they were fashioned as the woman and the man
Designed for love's communion as God meant for them to be
Reflective of His purpose when He formed humanity
But unlike Him they gathered to the place where He would not
Be able to defend them in the truth that they forgot
The truth that they could only be within the will of Him
If they obeyed the truth He laid before the two of them
And as we know the lesson that they learned that fateful day
That took from them their innocence because they chose to stray
Did follow them with pain of heart until their life did end
And they were laid to rest by Him they once had known as Friend
But if they had been faithful to the will of God they knew
Had reveled in His nature as He wanted them to do
Instead of seeking pleasure from the place they should not go
Then life with Him eternal would be all that we would know
So friend though nature's fallen and as well bears scars of sin
God still holds there great lessons from the home He wants you in
The cities can not offer as God's love's not welcome there
His voice is all but silenced as none feel the need of prayer
Genesis 2:15-18; 3:1-24; James 4:13-17
