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]
