once we were perfect - v3

once we were perfect,
innocent of sin;
we walked with God
in the cool of the evening.
 
then sin entered,
the fruit, the snake;
Adam and Eve were
cast out of the Garden.
 
but God was cast out
of all of creation;
our sin too great a barrier
to our continued communion.
 
God, the Father,
only in heaven;
the breach healed
by Christ, our Savior.
