History Repeats

LISTEN NOW
One Tree, One Man, One Day
A Poem by Trulah
The brokenness of one
Has caused the brokenness of all
The shared forbidden fruit
The multiplying of the fall
Eden’s bitterroot
Wraps around humanity
Knowledge of good and evil repeats itself in me
If through one man we’ve been enslaved,
Through one can we be freed?
If one man brought about our shame,
Can another bring glory?
One tree, one man, one day
And the fall of all ensued
One tree, one man, one day
History was made new
Which are you? Which are you?
In Adam or in Christ?
For the first knows only death
The latter, only life
Accompanying Scriptures:
Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians 15:45-49
Lyrics & Music by Trulah & Victory Boyd
It started in the Garden
With Adam and Eve
Humanity has fallen
And history repeats
The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree
Only one kind of fruit can come from
Corruptible seed
History repeats in me
When the strength within me fails
But His glory delivers me
As the hand of God prevails
Praying in the Garden
Of Gethsemane
The Son of Man responded
Your will let it be
He was pierced for our transgressions
Hung on a tree
Little did they know they buried
The incorruptible seed
History repeats in me
When the strength within me fails
But His glory delivers me
As the hand of God prevails
We’re all born of flesh and blood
A fallen nature from day one
How can what has fallen ever rise above?
To God this is no mystery
He raised the Son for all to see
In Christ the bound have been set free
By His Spirit there is victory
History repeats in me
When the strength within me fails
But His glory delivers me
As the hand of God prevails
(Time and time and time again
And again and again
I’m resurrecting)
History repeats
