No more
the life of Eden!
Grief and pain
afflict
our mortal frame.
Doubt and fear
assail us -
no guarantee
that all are friends
out there.
And yet our Lord
with love and care
is there with us
so that in him
we still can be
safe and secure
in his grace.
For grace he came
to bear our guilt,
endure our pain.
In fallen world
is pain and fear.
We’re not alone -
for he is here!
