In Eden’s garden fair we see That God before two trees placed man, The trees of life, and knowledge too, Which for the Lord and Satan stand. |
2
|
The tree of life the center is Of God’s eternal, perfect plan, Denoting God in Christ as life To be received as all by man. |
3
|
The tree of knowledge standing there, Bespeaks a sure and warning voice: Outside of God there is a source Of death to all who make this choice. |
4
|
If man would eat the tree of life, Then God as life he will receive, And be transformed to precious stones, God’s will and Purpose to achieve. |
5
|
If man the tree of knowledge takes, Then Satan enters into man As sin, which brings him into death, That he may not fulfill God’s plan. |
6
|
This signifies that only God Is our full source of life and breath; To touch ought else is but to touch The source of knowledge and of death. |
7
|
For knowledge only bringeth death, Though evil or though good it seem; For any thing apart from God, Is but the fruit of Satan’s scheme. |
8
|
Not only evil, but the good Is contradictory to Christ; Not only knowledge of the bad, But even good is versus Christ. |
9
|
Lord, teach us only Thee to touch, That with Thy life we filled may be, And not to touch the good or bad, Or anything apart from Thee. |

I like vs. 4, “If man would eat the tree of life, then God as life he would receive, and be transformed to precious stones, God’s will & purpose to achieve. ”
