Faithful and Fallen
The faithful and the fallen are alike in many ways
Created by one Father not to see the end of days
But those who are the fallen chose the path they should not choose
And life that God intended was the life they chose to lose
But if they had been faithful like the other worlds above
The deepest depths of Godliness expressed through perfect love
Would not have been as clearly seen as it is seen today
Through Christ Who is God's Sacrifice the Life the Truth the Way
For though all things were perfect in this universe you see
The devil and his angels in their hidden subtlety
Were seeking those unguarded by obedience to fool
A product of creation that their wickedness could rule
And as the years were passing with no sign of giving in
The whole of God's creation with no taint of selfish sin
Except for that in Satan and the followers he had
The purity of Eden would soon go from good to bad
As Eve so pure and perfect crowning jewel of Godly touch
Led by her curiosity began to look too much
At one tree in the Garden where God said they should not go
As He tried to protect them from the thing they need not know
That knowledge of the evil that divides our soul from Him
That brought untold disaster not just on the two of them
But on all of creation as they watched the first lamb die
The emblem God was giving for the apple of His eye
For from that lamb of sacrifice the blood was spilt that day
As emblem of what God would give to wash our sins away
That would be ours forever as forever He would be
By Christ His perfect Son a part of our humanity
And He would bear the markings He alone of all the sin
He suffered as our Sacrifice to save the souls of men
As evidence of perfect love no one could second guess
To prove to all the faithful God would never love us less
But would love all creation as He does and ever will
That all throughout the universe the hearts of all will thrill
To hear from those once fallen how God's grace is all they know
For by God's grace alone through faith His love for all will show
Genesis 3; Psalm 17:6-8; Daniel 12:1-3
