A Land Gone But, Not Forgotten
There is a land that existed long ago.
A place where everyone would love to go.
It was like a beautiful garden.
Pure air, pure water, lovely to see.
Fruits and vegetables growing free.
The perfect temperature year around.
There was never a threatening sound.
All the animals were tame and kind.
They had your best interest in mind.
In this place, love was in the air.
There was evidence everywhere.
You could call it heaven on earth.
That is how much it was worth.
If you were outside, you couldn’t get in.
Those on the inside were safe within.
But, every paradise has its flaw.
Even this paradise had its law.
Don’t eat of the fruit of a certain tree.
Those living there were aware of it, see.
But, as fate goes, there came a day.
They ate of it. What else can I say.
They were forced to leave the garden.
Eventually, they would get a pardon.
The garden was removed from earth.
No taint of sin would touch it from the curse.
Eventually, it will be restored again.
You and I can go there within.
It is a promise God has made to us.
So, just repent and end the fuss.
