Two Trees

“Two Trees”

In Eden’s garden, still and bright, God placed two trees within man’s sight — The Tree of Life, so full and free, And one that held a mystery. (Gen. 2:9) To choose was gift, to choose was call, “Eat freely—yes—but not of all.” (Gen. 2:16–17) Yet in that choice, a step was made, And innocence began to fade. “The woman gave…” the voice replied, (Gen. 3:12)

As blame and sorrow entered inside. And so we learn, both then and now: Our choices shape our why and way.

But lift your heart towards our God, and hope will remain, For Christ has triumphed over chains!

The victory’s ours, the battle has been won, (1 Cor. 15:57)

Through God’s own everlasting Son.

So walk each day in truth and light, Not swayed by lies, but led by light — For greater is the One within Than all the darkness of this world’s sin. (1 John 4:4)
