A message to my heart in a song

I first heard this song at the Downtown Pregnancy Center's Light of Life Dinner. This song made me cry as it pierced my heart deeply with its message.

I can taste the fruit of Eve.

I'm aware of sickness death and disease.

The results of her choices were vast.

Eve was the first but she wasn't the last.

If I were honest with myself,

had I been standing at that tree,

my mouth and my hands would be covered with fruit.

Things I shouldn't know and things I shouldn't see

Remind me of this with every decision.

Generations will reap what I sow.

I can pass on a curse or a blessing

to those I will never know.

She taught us to fear the serpent.

I'm learning to fear myself

and all of the things I am capable of

in my search for acceptance, wisdom and wealth.

To say the devil made me do it is a cop-out and a lie.

The devil can't make me do anything when I'm calling on Jesus Christ

To my great-great-great-granddaughter, live in peace.

To my great-great-great-grandson, live in peace.

To my great-great-great granddaughter, live in peace.

To my great-great-great-grandson, live in peace, live in peace.

Eve was the first but she wasn't the last.
