I always thought it kind of strange

 That God designed the garden

 When He knew that man would only sin

 And be cast out

 

 Why give man a choice at all

 When man will only choose to fall?

 Why give man a choice at all?

 In the garden

 

 Cast out of Paradise

 With tears in their eyes

 Cast out of Paradise

 But our God is very good and wise

 He cast them out of Paradise

 To lead them to a better land!

 

 When man was in the garden he trusted in the snake

 Cast out he soon knew who was lying

 But God only casts you out to sin

 Until you learn to trust in him

 

 And then he opens the gates to HeavenHe opens the gates

 to HeavenHe throws wide the gates to Heaven

 Heaven the perfect garden

 

 In the garden once again

 Walking with him hand in hand

 Finally knowing how to trust in him

 We wont touch that fruit if he says not to!
