The Serpent Was More Subtle

The serpent was more subtle
Than any other beast
And Satan took to beguile
Through it, one of the least

Soon the serpent spoke to Eve
And said if she ate from the tree
Her eyes would then be opened
And... she ate, for she believed

Thus thinking they'd be wise
She got Adam to partake
Then they recognized
Something was not okay

By and by they perceived
That truly they were naked
And sewing up fig leaves
They made themselves some aprons

Walking in the garden
In the coolness of the day
They heard the voice of Father
And quickly ran away...

"Where goest thou?" God asked
And they knew they could not hide
They confessed they were not dressed
And that the serpent had beguiled

Adam and Eve were taught
And left the garden place
Toil became their lot
Thus began the human race...

Now they knew the serpent
Had been Satan filled with lies
And with prayers ever fervent
They besought Father with their cries

The fall is but a step
A path each man must take
And though we are inept
We know our Savior won't forsake

Then the day will near
That we will journey home
And our Lord will reappear
That our next step might be known
