Sin came to earth,
Death came through sin;
Corrupted birth,
Defiled in.
So death did spread,
Since all had sinned;
As to be bred,
Not disciplined.
Before the laws,
There was sin here;
Causing some flaws,
And also fear.
No log of sin,
Because no laws;
Death rule had been,
Account of flaws.
Those who sin not,
In the same way;
Nor the same thought,
Still disobey.
There is no way,
We can compare;
Like night and day,
The thread they share.
Adam first man,
Because he failed;
God had a plan,
That was entailed.
So one was born,
Named Jesus Christ;
Who did sojourn,
But not enticed.
Death ruled no more,
After the tree;
God closed the door,
For victory.
