The Tree of Life
by Art Wheeler

Album: Six Minutes After Seven

Adam and Eve were
Livin' in a garden
Naked as a jaybird
Happy as a clam
In the cool of the evening
They'd go walking in the garden
Talking and laughing
With the Great I AM
In the garden is a river
By the river is a tree
The tree of knowledge
If you eat it, it will make you wise
In the center of the garden
Is a tree you can eat from
And you will live for ever
It's the Tree of Life

Chorus

Take me to the river
Guide me by the water
Don't feed me from the tree of knowledge
I know all I need to know
Feed me from the tree
That the cherubim
Guard with a flaming sword
The Tree of Life is
Where I want to go

Adam and Eve were
Eating in the garden
From the tree of knowledge
Recommended by a snake
But God had told them
That tree was forbidden
But from any other tree they could eat
All they could take
Then they got their knowledge
And they saw they were naked
They made some clothes from
Some of the leaves
When he saw they disobeyed him
God sent them from the garden
And he sent an angel
To protect his trees

There's a Holy City
Descending from heaven
God will live there
His people too
They'll go walking in the city
Talking and laughing
God will be the light
For everything they do
In the city is a river
By the river is a tree
Its leaves will heal the nations
And take away their strife
And the fruit that the tree bears
Is a fruit you can eat from
And you will live for ever
It's the tree of life
