Getting Past Book I, Chapter 3

For the truth, you sought not very far
only to Eden’s garden that Eve did mar
when she allowed deception
to taint God’s reputation.

When she added her own words
to those that she had heard.
To “thou shalt not eat,” she added
these words: “Thou shalt not touch.”
And though this doesn’t sound like much,
it started a revolution.

Into this situation, the light of Satan came;
but on the woman do not put the blame.
Her Man stood aside and let her
as Satan got the better.
Man, he was not deceived,
but from then on he was grieved.
He allowed his lovely wife
to usher in the toil and strife.

But you must get past the garden
and through the desert wander
into the Holy Splendor
of truth that He came to render.

Word upon word, line upon line
the Spirit moved time to time
to bring THE Word from heaven’s shore
into the world that He adored.

So, look again, but not at men
who have religion on their skin;
but to the one from heaven above.
He’s not just living in the dove.

The great I AM never changes
although the world rearranges
the truth that is HE -
a light for you and me.
