Gen 4:1-15
CAIN AND ABEL

Adam and Eve from the garden they fell
Had two boys named Cain and Abel
Cain tilled and farmed the ground
Abel led his sheep all around.

As time came and went to pass
Cain’s offerings they didn’t last
His brother Abel, God was pleased
Cain’s offerings God rejected.

Now furious at Abel, Cain so mad
Took the life of his brother so sad
Premeditated, now the first murder
Cain now cursed as a murderer.

Cursed by God no longer his land
God, Cain said, No one can withstand
A vagabond you shall be to wonder
No right to put your brother asunder.

Everyone who finds me, they will slay me
No Cain, my hand will I give to protect thee
If any one kills you and crosses the line
I will bring death worse by seven times.
