A compassionate God |
|
Looks down upon the earth |
|
As the void in man's heart grows wide |
|
Empty human grabs at the air around |
|
As fashions drift along through life |
|
Chasing the wind |
|
The emptiness will never be satisfied |
|
While pleasure warms the dullness inside |
|
Restoration groans for fulfillment |
|
Within the captivity of pride |
|
CHORUS |
|
Overseer, creation testifies |
|
As pride of man holds |
|
Back the helpless cries |
|
Drawing near with arms |
|
Stretched open wide |
|
Inviting forgiveness in its place |
|
Inside |
|
Instinct persuades the will |
|
Men like animals respond |
|
To the calling of desire |
|
Ignorant of the creator |
|
May God subject them all |
|
Our to labour on their own |
|
When human strength fails |
|
Then they'll call upon the Lord |
|
Yet in God's great compassion |
|
He floods His grace upon our soul |
|
Mankind chooses helplessness |
|
As pride holds back the cries |
|
And outwardly denies it |
|
As he closes up inside |
|
CHORUS |
|
I cry out to the Lord in my distress |
|
He takes away the chains |
|
That bind my soul |
|
Let us give thank for His |
|
Unfailing word |
|
For He sets us free |
|
CHORUS |
