2) God gave both angels and mankind, the free will to choose.
To worship and serve Him there; or that, to refuse.
The pride spotted instantly, judgment quickly fell.
Rebellion just like witchcraft; all these condemned to Hell.
3) Stubbornness as idolatry, iniquity, combined.
Rejecting The Word of The Lord, trouble they did find.
Our first parents then deceived, in Eden's Garden Place.
Rebellion just like witchcraft; both there fell from grace.
4) Fig leaves covered nudity, they thought it met the need.
But, sins price, it must be paid; an innocent one, bleed.
