Innocence

A perfect

garden;

a vengeful

Serpent

deceiving one--man chose

Death 

in stead of Me.

 

Conscience

A guide to

whisper

"No, that's not

right;"

earth is defiled--she chose

Lust 

in stead of Me.

 

Torah

Two tables of

stone,

a guide for 

Peace

with your Father--you chose

Corruption 

in stead of Me.

 

Judges

Kings ruled, prophets

led

you by the hand to

pastures

green; yet the sheep stray--choosing

Sin 

in stead of Me.

 

Messiah

Two pierced

Hands

offer love; "Is 

not

this Joseph's son?"--they choose

not

to acknowledge Me.

 

Grace

Go ye into all the

world,

even the 

Uncircumsised.

Yet is none righteous--you choose 

World

in stead of Me.

 

Judgment

Now you want the

Door

opened another

way?

I gave you every chance--you receive

Torment

in stead of Me.
