One word—
then light breaks into darkness;
the sky, the seas, and life—how wondrous!
One garden—
here’s Eden, where God’s creatures roam;
see Adam and Eve in their glorious home.
One serpent—
he says, “You surely won’t die.”
A bite of the fruit reveals
Satan’s lie.
One world—
now broken as sin enters in.
How will our Father restore
it again?
One God—
whose plan is perfect and true—
will bring new life to me and to you.
