God Wants a Family
By Matthew Kalliman
Well, in the beginning were God and Christ
They made in Their image a man and wife
They wanted a family life with children of Their own
Yes, children creating in God’s employ
Building a universe filled with joy
Children who would never destroy their family or their home
For God wants a family filled with love
That honor their Parents above
Now, Adam’s creation was not complete
God made a tree that he must not eat
Adam had to learn to defeat temptation to do wrong
But time and experience are required
Before perfect character is acquired
That’s what the Creator desired in Adam all along
But the whole human family was led astray
When Adam stumbled that day
But God had allowed for the fall of man
Nothing that happened upset His plan
God purposed before it began that a Savior would be slain
When man learns from all the mistakes he’s made
God wants his penalty to be paid
That’s why the atonement was made, so man could live again
And the wretched condition the world is in
Is the end result of his sin
Instrumental
Well, in the beginning were God and Christ
They made in Their image a man and wife
They still want a family life with children of Their own
Yes, children creating in God’s employ
Building a universe filled with joy
Children who will never destroy their family or their home
For God wants a family filled with love
That honor their Parents above
But the whole human family was led astray
When Adam stumbled that day
And the wretched condition the world is in
Is the end result of his sin
But, when man learns from all the mistakes he’s made
God wants his penalty to be paid
That’s why the atonement was made
So man could live again!
