Heaven and Earth by the Lord were created,
Sun and the moon and the stars so elated,
Two in a garden, a beautifully mated
Pair in a Paradise, bare there were they.
Chorus:
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, (x3)
Pair in a Paradise, bare there were they.
Fruit-bearing trees in that garden were planted,
Nothing was lacking, no nothing was scanted;
Perfect for two, a completely enchanted
Pair in a paradise, bare there were they.
Of all the fruit growing there they’d partaken
Saving for one that the Lord had forbade them
Lest they be a-dying, that man and maiden,
Pair in a paradise, bare there were they.
Then in the garden there spoke an advisor:
“Why doth thou listen to all of these lies for?
Eat,” said the serpent, “to be but the wiser.”
Pair in a paradise, bare there were they.
Satan the serpent was oh so deceiving.
Eve though his cunning was led to believing;
Ate, as did Adam, soon to be a-grieving,
Pair in a paradise, bare there were they.
Hiding in shame at a growing awareness
There of their nakedness, there of their bareness,
Clothed by the Lord, then, a sadly embarrassed
Pair in a paradise, bare there were they.
Satan in Eden then had his beginning,
Sought with the lie o’er the Lord to be winning,
Death brought instead to the world through a sinning
Pair in a paradise, bare there were they.
