Ancient of Days

Almighty One - You gave us Your Son
for your Will to be done
when He came - and will come
to save everyone:

What will we become
for what we have done?

"Choose Life" You say, Choose ... choose...
that we may not lose abundant life now - nor life to come
when our race is run and our battle won!

Ancient of Days - Almighty One
may Your Will be done by everyone
through Your only begotten son
that we all may rejoice with one heart
and one voice - our praises sung
and Your Kingdom Come!

Eden

Unfenced was this garden of perfect design
dressed and planted with us in mind,
its purpose - without doubt - was undefined
by the first two souls of human-kind:

Alas, alas ... all of that beauty a devil beheld -
the sneak came around and insider-dealing began;
alas, alas the two fell under the sway of disguise,
succumbed to lust and pride of eyes and bit off
more than they could chew ... no longer to dress
that garden again; thrown out to live to realize
their shame ... reaping now the sod they trod
outside of the garden God ...plod ... plod!

Their lot is our lot even today
so UNTIL a garden of perfect design
is dressed again with us in mind
man must keep plodding and
prodding the sod ... plod ... plod
plod on!

Multiplied by 2

Two people multiplied and grew
(even through human-nature slew)
millions and billions grew and grew
into a multitude:

They multiplied - forming a nation,
then into many nations
and ever since creation
have continued without cessation
again and again to record
a multitude spreading abroad ....
some turning away from the Lord
some unto salvation;
but in the end
the Lord will send
and reap
the whole world of creation
-subdued-
which grew from 2.
