TILL ONE GREAT MAN RESTORE US

Of man’s first disobedience, and the fruit of that forbidden tree

Whose mortal task, brought death into the world

And all our woe, with loss of Eden

Till one great man restore us, and regain the blissful seat

Of man’s second disobedience, and the slew of own brother

Was to sacrifice a first born lamb, a symbol of his son Jesus Christ

Did it his own way, Cain disobeyed God

Rage, dejection and jealously, sin crouches at his door

Till one great man restore us, and regain the blissful seat

Of man’s third disobedience, refused to be sent

Didn’t think they deserve to be forgiven

Rose up to flee unto Tarshish, from the presence of the almighty

Evil came into the ship, took him up and cast forth into the sea

Feeling the warmth of the fish belly, forced him to bow before God

Till one great man restore him, and was vomited upon the dry land

Of man’s forth disobedience, interfere with the Lord’s offering

Sons of Eli knew not the lord, makes themselves fat with the offerings

Demanded flesh to roast for the priest, advice to take as much as thy soul desired

Answer it nay, though shall give it me now, if not I will take it by force

Till one great man restore them, promise to have a faithful priest to be raised

Of man’s disobedience, Satan stood up against Israel

With his cunning ways, entice David to sin by numbering his army

Prompted by pride and ambitious curiosity, offended God

Three days of pestilence that killed 70,000 Israelites, was what followed

Till one great man restore us, and regain the blissful seat
