Scented Leaves

Scented leaves, false cover up for sin
Sewn together in the garden
Where iniquity on earth did begin
Man in desperate need of pardon.

Fig foliage n'er will be enough
Scented leaves, false cover up for sin
God not fooled, called their bluff
Adam and Eve brought curse on all kin.

Animal slaughtered, God made them coats of skin
Only innocent blood would be sufficient
Scented leaves, false cover up for sin
Will always render the guilty deficient.

Lamb slain from the foundation of the world
Spotless sacrifice, a victory to win
Out the door forever was hurled
Scented leaves, false cover up for sin.
