One Small Leaf

One Small Leaf

 

One small leaf on a beautiful tree

It doesn’t seem very much

The difference comes in one little word

The creating God said don’t touch.

 

Just taste the fruit and you will die

To disobey God is sin

They at the fruit to God’s dismay

And old Satan soon came in.

 

He said God lied, you won’t really die

You will only become wise

The wisdom came the knowledge of sin

Since then mankind for mercy cries.

 

God hears our cries, we cry in faith

And when our crying is done

He says believe and faithful live
