GENESIS BETRAYED
In a loveless patch the seed was sown A barren field of thorn Then tears rained down from Heaven's face Where heavy hearts have scorn If harvest time is near for us Why are we afraid? Fruits of joy were ours to reap Had not Genesis we betrayed New life alone must struggle now In Garden's tainted soil Roots defiled in passion's play Where lofty lusts have spoiled Why have we in True Love's name Made this new one's strife That he must live to bear the Cross To redeem our sacrifice?
