Lyrics
Adam
(Orignal words by John Newton 1725-1807 adapted by rgraceful 2004)
(4 bar intro)
On man, was God's image laid,
How much God did bestow
All creation homage paid,
But He kept Adam here below!
Adam dwelt in paridise
Ate fruit without a price
And with Eve for an help
He was full of confidence
Yea full of confidence
(intro)
Well by now sin quickly came
Adam's hope faded fast
His place in God was much estranged,
His heart shattered like a piece a glass
Now from God's voice Adam fleed,
Instead of fallin down to his knees
He tried to hide in the trees,
Yea Tried to hide from God
Hide his sin from God
(intro)
Compelled to answer to his name,
With stubbornness and pride
Adam cast at Eve and God the blame,
Not once for mercy did he cry.
But grace unasked unattained
By blood alone his guilt forgave;
By faith, the promise was made
An God showed his power to save.
Yea showed his power to save.
(no intro)
Yea we ourselves ain't justified,
When the Law we transgress
And the sin we strongly deny
No never wishin' to confess.
Till by faith the sinner sees
God has to fix this mess
So stop your foolish pleas,
An quickly turn back to God.
Yea turn back to God
(no intro)
Adam had a good thing goin
He had it all in his hands
Why he ever believed in those lies
No body ever really gonna know
But ever since he went along with evil
Man suffered with it ever since
Till the man of sorrows came
Laid down His Life ,took the shame
And now it's to His evelasting fame
Oh Thank you Jesus
Praise Your Holy name
For by one man sin came in
And then you came an took it all away
