God’s Only Rule Poem by Royston Allen

There was a sneaky, slimy, nasty snake
who encouraged poor Eve, Gods’ law to break.
The fruit on the tree looked so wonderful
and she reached out and broke God’s only rule.

A great chain of events had now begun
for her act was to affect everyone.
The relationship with God had been broken
and awful words of judgement were spoken.

“The soul that sins shall die” the judgement said
and Adam and Eve looked at God with dread.
Death and sin had now come upon the earth
and all humankind stood condemned from birth.

But God in His mercy had another way
and sent His Only Son to save the day
By His sacrifice we are forgiven
and once more be accepted into heaven.
