The Antidote

 
The Antidote

The subtle serpent struck,
Striving to usurp the plan:
Fracturing the fellowship
Separating God and man.
 
Penalties were appointed
To the man, the wife and snake.
Adam lost the title deed,
And was forced to capitulate.
 
But an antidote was promised
For the serpent's bite...
A prophetic anti venom
To restore and make things right.
 
There'd be a crushing of the serpent's head
For the bruising of the heel.
All accomplished through the woman's Seed
Signed in Blood and sealed.
 
The precious Blood of Jesus...
Antidote for death and sin,
Flowed from this second Adam
For the final win!
 
This remedy of highest value
The fix so true and sure.
One drop of Christ's untainted Blood
Wrought the double cure.
 
The devil was defeated
And man was now redeemed
The Seed of the woman
Foiled the serpent's scheme.

Genesis 3:15
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
