It all began in heaven, all glorious and pure
With an overcharging angel, his name was Lucifer
Then of himself he thought highly, his heart was full of pride
Opposed to God he made a lie and spread it far and wide
In the harmony of Eden, the serpent came with his lie
Saying the words to the woman, “Ye shall not surely die.”
So Eve partook, as did Adam, ‘tis was mankind’s fall
For this is why Christ came to die, so He could save us all
Through patriarchs and prophets; kings, apostles of old,
The battle still continued, the story was retold
Christ's servants were persecuted, oh how their faith was tried!
Through stormy blasts, their trust did last, for God was on their side
The Desire of Ages was sought to be killed from His birth
Satan tried to stop Christ’s ministry, on this sinful earth
But He came out more than victorious, His life was full of no loss
“Behold Him in the wilderness, in Gethsemane, upon the cross!”
Martyrs gave up their lives for Christ; death’s signature they signed
God’s messengers stood up for His truth, which in the dark ages was confined
The reformers, pilgrims, preachers, afflicted had to run
They hid in rocks and trees, but blessed are ye, if you do for God’s own Son
The Great Controversy between Christ and Satan
Between good and evil, obedience and sin
And since we have fallen, our Savior came to save man
The Lamb’s blood of mercy, spilled for our salvation
