Don Francisco - The Ballad Of Cain & Abel lyrics

Eve had two children by Adam her husband they grew into man as the years went on by Cain was a farmer but Abel a shepherd when the time for their offering to God had drawn nigh. Now Abel he heeded the voice of the spirit and his offering in faith was the life of a lamb but Cain offered grain and his gift was rejected for it came from the will and the pride of a man. Chorus; Cain, said the Lord, now why are you angry when no one has hurt you or done you a wrong if you change and do right you'll still be accepted sin wants to snare you and you must be strong sin wants to have you and you must be strong. Spurning the chance to repent and find favor preferring his pride and refusing to yield cain gave his heart up to rage and to envy till he murdered his brother one day in the field. Chorus: Cain, said the Lord, now where is your brother did you think you could murder and never be found you're cursed by the earth for this crime you've committed for the voice of his blood is crying out from the ground. So Cain wandered far from his home and his people eastward from Eden to the country of Nod, spend all his years as an exile and stranger away from the presence and the blessing of God. So learn now a lesson from Cain and his folly, through pride hate and jealousy only comes wrong envy and anger will end in disaster they are waiting to snare you so watch and be strong sin wants to have you so watch and be strong.
