By Matthew Kalliman
Genesis 1:31; 2:7-9, 16-17; 3:1-22; 4:1-8; 6:5-6, 11-13; I Kings 3:9-10; Isaiah 7:15-16; Hebrews 5:14

The Lord God made a garden a long, long time ago
And there He put the man He formed and made two trees to grow
The tree of life was pure and good, but in the other tree
Good was mixed with evil, and man was going to see that


CHORUS
Evil mixed with goodness starts a trend
That leads to only evil in the end
       And in the process of time 
       The earth would be filled with violence and crime
       ’Cause when evil and good combine 
       The end is death


The serpent was most subtle, man listened to his voice
Then evil mixed with goodness when error was his choice
So Adam had two children, and one was wicked Cain
One was righteous Abel, and goodness would be slain, ’cause

CHORUS

And by the days of Noah, God could only see
Evil, only evil, in the earth continually
The blame went to the serpent, above all he was cursed
’Cause everything that God had made was very good at first, but

CHORUS

The Lord God made a garden a long, long time ago
And there He put the man He formed, and made two trees to grow
The lesson now is written, and man must learn to choose
To keep the way of goodness, the way of sin refuse, ’cause


CHORUS
Evil mixed with goodness starts a trend
That leads to only evil in the end
       And in the process of time 
       The earth would be filled with violence and crime
       ’Cause when evil and good combine 
       ’Cause when evil and good combine 
       ’Cause when evil and good combine 
       The end is death ​
