‘To Raid the Grave’

Adam tempted in the garden.
Disobedience at the tree.
Naked, shamed, red-handed, dying.
Banishment was God’s decree.

Jesus came to raid the grave,
Claimed the life that Adam entombed.
Rose and rolled the stone away,
And the long lost treasure exhumed, the long lost treasure exhumed.         x2

Jesus tempted in the garden.
Held obedient to the tree.
Naked, shamed, red-handed, dying.
Took our place to set us free.
