"From His Side" traces the great biblical arc of love and redemption from Eden to the Cross. It begins with Adam, whose bride is formed from his side—bone of bone, flesh of flesh—revealing love created in holiness and equality. When sin enters, Adam chooses union over obedience, and love, though sincere, proves unable to save.

The song then turns to Christ, the second Adam, who enters the human family by taking on flesh and blood, becoming one with Adam’s fallen race. Unlike the first Adam, He does not fall with His bride but is lifted up on the cross. From His pierced side flow water and blood, symbolizing cleansing and atonement.

Where Adam’s love led into loss, Christ’s love leads into restoration. By passing through death, He raises humanity whole, answering the great controversy and restoring what was broken. What Adam lost, the Lamb has won—the kingdom is made whole.

From His Side

Lyrics by Zeres Vitto

VERSE 1

In Eden’s light, before the fall,

Before the ache, before the wall,

A man alone, yet crowned with breath,

Till God spoke life through sacred rest.

A deep sleep fell, the side was torn,

Not head nor foot, but heart was born,

Bone of bone, flesh of flesh,

Love revealed in holiness.

PRE-CHORUS

Not formed to rule, not formed to tread,

But side by side where God had led,

One flesh sealed by heaven’s word,

Love entrusted to the Lord.

CHORUS

Bone of bone, flesh of flesh,

Life entwined, no lesser breath,

When she fell, he would not flee,

Her loss became his destiny.

Bone of bone, flesh of flesh,

Love chose nearness over God,

Eden’s vow in shadows thrown,

A broken union; not undone.

VERSE 2

The fruit was touched, the silence broke,

A world collapsed beneath the stroke,

Not deceived, yet still he stood,

And chose her fate — his flesh, his blood.

The watching courts beheld the cost,

Love untethered, order lost,

Mercy wept, and justice cried:

This love alone cannot decide.

VERSE 3

The Word was clothed in Adam’s frame,

Took our dust, our death, our name,

Not angel-born, nor formed apart,

But joined our flesh and took our lot.

Bone of bone of Adam’s race,

Flesh of flesh in time and space,

He stepped inside the fallen line

To heal the root of humankind.

PRE-CHORUS 2

He could not save from worlds away,

Nor heal by power alone displayed,

To judge our cause, to win our plea,

He must become what we would be.

VERSE 4

Another Adam walked our dust,

Clothed in flesh, in grief and trust,

Not in sleep but nailed in shame,

Yet love still bore the sinner’s name.

A spear was raised, His side was torn,

Water and blood freely poured,

Not to fall with fallen men,

But lift them whole through death again.

BRIDGE

Adam fell to keep his bride,

Christ was lifted, crucified,

First love failed beneath the weight,

Second Love fulfilled our fate.

CHORUS

Bone of bone, flesh of flesh,

Taken on in human dress,

Not by falling into night,

But bearing sin to raise us right.

Bone of bone, flesh of flesh,

Now redeemed and robed afresh,

What was lost in Eden’s fall

Is restored through Christ in all.

OUTRO

The court is sealed, the record clear,

The Bride stands whole, no trace of fear,

What Adam lost, the Lamb has won.

The work complete.

The kingdom whole.
