We are each on trial
As were Adam and Eve
To see if we can pass
Yes it's true, you see
God is waiting for you and me
To see if He can trust us,
Will we obey His instructions?
Are we Strong enough to last
Can we be the exception
Of all the peoples: future and past
Just as the Tree of Knowledge
Was placed in the midst
Of that Garden of Eden
So is this placed there for us
In the midst of the Ten Commandments
There is our blessed test
Will we keep the Sabbath?
Will it remain to us?
A wonderful day God blessed?
In Genesis 3:3 God said
"Ye shall not eat of it...
Lest ye die"
Of the Sabbath God said
"Ye shall not defile it, but keep it Holy..."
As the Tree of Knowledge
Was Adam's test
So the fourth Commandment
Is the test that God has given
To prove the loyalty of His People
Adam's experience was our warning
So long as time shall last
It warns us not to receive
Any assurance
From the mouth of men
Or of angels
That will detract one jot or tittle
From the scared law of Jehovah
