Hey Friends! I have a new song that I wrote for the christmas season. It’s called “The Second Adam (Mary Consoles Eve). I don’t consider myself a musician (at all) but I truly did enjoy writing this song. I’ve been captivated by Grace Remington’s painting for a few years now, so it was a joy to bring words to her painting. My hope for you is that, through this song, you may see the Hope of your redemption, that you may know that, despite your sin, your God still comes in search of you. That is the story of Christmas. Your God comes for you so that you may be His forever. Glory to God in the Highest.
VS1
Do you remember in the Garden the day your innocence died
You took the apple for yourself, believed the Serpent’s lies.
The ground shook beneath you, opened a cavern between
so You and Your God no longer could convene
The fellowship you once shared with your Maker now gone
You were left to carry shame and mourn for what you’d lost
But look, He has come to walk among you once again
to be bridge across the cavern you created with your sin
Chorus
He is your second Adam, the very son of Man
He has conquered your temptation,
crushed the snake that bit your hand
Son of God and Son of David
As the eternal King he reigns
He has brought down the mighty
exalted those of humble state
So let that snake uncoil, you are no longer bound
Rejoice with me, My Mother, for our Messiah has come down
VS2
Come close now and place your hand upon my growing weight
Feel the Hope of Glory born to restore your broken faith.
Your God has not left you in this world that you cursed
For from my very womb, your Messiah shall be birthed.
He came for you in the Garden, and He comes for you now
No evil could stop incarnate Love from coming down
All that once was lost in abundance shall be found
The fellowship restored and the curse be unbound
Bridge
He comes now in victory. Kings and rulers take Heed
You will not stand against Him so come fall at his feet
Let the downcast find joy, the hungry be filled
Rejoice, all ye Israel, your God remembers you still
