Adam Sees

Lyrics

VERSE 1
He hears a rustle in the trees
His Maker walking in the breeze
The face he once had loved to see
Adam sees
His breath still bears forbidden fruit
The curse of sin has taken root
Excuses are no substitute
Adam sees

VERSE 2
For centuries, he bears the blame
Long centuries of death and shame
Each widow’s face, each orphan’s name
Adam sees
He sees his children join the slain
He fights the thorns, but fights in vain
He longs for death to end the pain
That Adam sees

VERSE 3
He hears a thunder at the door
He sees a face he’s seen before
His Friend, his Son, is now his Lord
Adam sees
With joy he joins the ransomed dead
For Christ the Victor in his stead
Has finally crushed the serpent’s head
Adam sees

TAG
Adam…
…joins the ransomed dead
The second Adam, in his stead,
Has finally crushed the serpent’s head
Adam sees
