A Psalm of Adam
when he was cast out of the Garden.
The very first and most broken of all hearts
Struggling to understand this new pain
“Oh,” my heart
Why must you be so
Was love all that made you strong
But now lost we are weak and fall
Oh, my heart
Why even go on
I feel you stop between each beat
I feel you ache in that space between
As you sink within me like a stone
Is this the end
Am I but a dream
what have I done
what have I become
In sin, I have created separation and shame
And that is how I shall know sin to be
For my God loved me in a paradise of harmony
Until I became the worm of sin
And the rot of his fruit
I was not deceived, I chose to eat
I could not bare to be without her, again alone
For she became my heart
When we two became one
The light is falling darkness is rising
Oh let us rest just for a while
And sleep till there is no more pain
If that be forever, so let it be
Would it not be better than this for eternity
(Night sets in)
Adam falls asleep but is startled awake
Oh nooo
My heart !!!
He was my heart
He made my soul
Where shall I go without my heart
What can I do to redeem my soul
Oh, it would be better that he had never made me
If it hurts the child, how much more so the father
If only i could return to that bliss just once more
That knowing of belonging and never knowing doubt
How shall I return
I must return to the garden
I am lost without my God
I am broken without my heart
But the angel with the fiery sword sent me away
He said I must create the garden within myself
For his kingdom is within me
Oh please father what does it mean
How can these things be inside of me
(The Sun begins to rise on the horizon)
(Oh my heart)
I can now see
The light that is him
Is a seed within me
It’s in you my heart
For I AM my heart
I must create love
I must help it grow
To all of his creatures
My heart I must show
And await my redeemer
Here comes the Son
He gave up his light
So his fruit could come
As above, so below
I AM ready, Father
Make it so
