Cain & Abel
Cain came from Eve
Being one of many children
Working his land
His crops and his vineyard
Close to his brother
Abel the younger
A tender of sheep
From the flocks he had gathered
They both worshipped the Lord
With the portions they would bring
Cain brought fruit from the land
His choice for an offering
But Abel knew the cost
Slays a firstborn from his flock
So found favour with God
But his brother did not
Downcast
Cain was downcast
Angry at the Lord
Offended and sore
He became downcast
God speaks
Cain hears God speak
Just do what is right
So bring me delight
But at your door lies sin
Refuse to let it in
Cain called his brother
Let us walk together
Follow me into the field
There's so much to be seen
But there he struck him down
Abel's blood stained the ground
Now there's blood on his hands
Cain has slain another man
A growing darkness in his heart
Tries to hide it from the Lord
No repentance just pretence
Sinking deeper into sin
Then it came the dreaded question
Deep to his conscience
How could he answer
Where is Abel your brother
Downcast
Angry and downcast
I don't know he would answer
Am I my brother's keeper
So angry and downcast
God speaks
Painfully God speaks
What is this you've done
His blood cries from the ground
Now you will be cursed
A restless wanderer
Driven from the ground
Wandering around
He does not want to be found
Lost in the ways of sin
Far from the Lord
And so fearful of men
A growing family
Would their eyes not see
How blinding pride can be
And even to this day
People run from God
Choose to follow their own ways
But still God speaks
Being one of many children
Working his land
His crops and his vineyard
Close to his brother
Abel the younger
A tender of sheep
From the flocks he had gathered
They both worshipped the Lord
With the portions they would bring
Cain brought fruit from the land
His choice for an offering
But Abel knew the cost
Slays a firstborn from his flock
So found favour with God
But his brother did not
Downcast
Cain was downcast
Angry at the Lord
Offended and sore
He became downcast
God speaks
Cain hears God speak
Just do what is right
So bring me delight
But at your door lies sin
Refuse to let it in
Cain called his brother
Let us walk together
Follow me into the field
There's so much to be seen
But there he struck him down
Abel's blood stained the ground
Now there's blood on his hands
Cain has slain another man
A growing darkness in his heart
Tries to hide it from the Lord
No repentance just pretence
Sinking deeper into sin
Then it came the dreaded question
Deep to his conscience
How could he answer
Where is Abel your brother
Downcast
Angry and downcast
I don't know he would answer
Am I my brother's keeper
So angry and downcast

Painfully God speaks
What is this you've done
His blood cries from the ground
Now you will be cursed
A restless wanderer
Driven from the ground
Wandering around
He does not want to be found
Lost in the ways of sin
Far from the Lord
And so fearful of men
A growing family
Would their eyes not see
How blinding pride can be
And even to this day
People run from God
Choose to follow their own ways
But still God speaks
