when we sinned, separation
when we ate of that fruit
disobedience in the garden
needing to be cast out
yet God’s response compassion
animal skins for our bodies
sacrifice of the animals
the first offering for our sin
sacrificed for us
keeping us from death
covering our nakedness our sin
though at a distance
never outside your presence
your love remaining for us
our creator and our God

and continuing that conversation with Pastor Ruth Foss this morning.
