Fallen World

Troglodyte Dawn

Compositor: Não Disponível

I look outside into a clouded, greying sky
I feel the sorrow, yet no tears burn in my eyes
I ask a question and the tide begins to swell
Why does the world around me
Often feel like Hell?

I feel so all alone
My flesh, it crawls
My spirit groans

We try, we struggle to undo the damage done
We burn our lives away in vain beneath the sun
There is a reason why the road we tread is hard
It should be different but our lineage is marred

We work the land alone
No love can grow
From hearts of stone

Man and Woman, He made them
To fill and master all the earth
But the serpent deceived
And God's children believed
Then passed the sickness on through birth

We bear the cost of their offense
But God has not left us for dead
He sent his Son as recompense
And He did crush the serpent's head

And so the answer is not found by human force
But when I reckon with my sin and know remorse
I give my heart up to the Maker of it all
The One who cared enough
To come and catch my fall

I am more then flesh and bone
This fallen world is not my home

Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so

I know my Redeemer lives
And in the end He will stand
Upon the earth
