A SONG OF PERCEPTIONS- MAN'S AND GOD'S

PERCEPTIONS

I see a couple, a man and wife,
there in the garden, with the tree of life,
thoughts assailed her, lead her astray,
Adam followed, and from that day,

They became darkened, only sin to see,
nothing but shame, pain, and misery.
Cast from Eden, and life within,
they served someone, who's name was sin.

That was man's perception, built upon the lie
that we could live apart from life, not die.
Hidden within is a mystery, waiting for all to see
mystery, wrapped in glory.

I see a nation, born from Abraham,
taken from Egypt, to the promised land.
a law given, for them was made.
And it blessed all, those who obeyed.

That law they thought would, bring life and rest.
Instead it condemned them, for they failed the test.
Hopeless cycle, with no escape,
'Till Messiah, their sin to take.

That was man's perception, built upon the law,
that we could live if we could keep it all.
hidden within is a mystery, waiting for all to see
mystery, wrapped in glory.

I see a savior, a most holy seed,
one who fills all things, and meets every need.
When he came down, his life to give,
we eat of him, and truly live.

He is the dwelling, for both God and man.
the mystery unfolds, showing us his plan.
The old killed off, He starts afresh,
Life by spirit, apart from flesh.

That is God's perception, built upon the life,
found in Jesus, and us as his wife.
hidden no more is the mystery, but plain for all to see.
Christ in us, hope of glory.

Can you fathom such a hope contained within his plan,
Mercy springing from a common man?
We united to him as one spirit and body,
bringing light and life eternally,
bringing light and life eternally.

I see our Lord now, and I hear his voice
within each one of us, so let's all rejoice.
