Life and Death

As the ladder stretches to the highest height
Only in His light shall we see light
To win this fight we will need his might
Though He is out of sight we must do what's right

Heaven is His throne
The Earth His footstool
To soften the hearts of stone
And to make wise the mind of the fool

Man was formed from the ground on the sixth day
The Lord brain stormed on the waters around
To unite spirit with clay

Into the nostrils of man God did breathe
From the side of Adam came forth Eve
For breaking the fruit from Paradise forced to leave
God clothing them with skins for shame to relieve

Jealousy over the righteous acts of another
Drove Cain to rise up and slay his brother
The cries of Abel’s blood he could not smother
Lamination in the heart of their mother

The Lord gives and the Lord takes away
As man's life is but a day
His flower blooms then withers and fades
All man can do is hope and pray
