Warnings told of what would happen
Pride and circumstance prevailed
The glory road, the dreams were dampened
The Cross of Christ with driven nails
Before creation, divine decree
An inclination did take place
The wretched choice, idolatry
We were but holy, now, disgraced
All foretold, it didn’t matter
Our sin entwined through every pore
Our walk with God, the future shattered
Destruction at the very core
And throughout history, not even one
Could see the light, be seasoned salt
Unraveled glory, came all undone
The curse was us, we brought the fault
This God who cares, this God who made
If power be, why evil then
And if Your good, then why dissuade
Please tell us why and not the when
A curse was given, a curse was shown
My plan enacted, Incarnate Son
And throughout time you haven’t grown
Where have you come, what have you done
So, tell us then, great Mystery
What’s happening, when will it end
Our evil soaked in history
What did You do, Whom did You send
So many years, don’t understand
The blood baths and the waisted bones
Then origins, descent of man
We bed the ape, our happy home
With all we did, Your covenant
In grace and mercy, bring us home
But in our folly, irreverent
We hang on to our earthly thrones
Why do You care, why do You love
The Potter made the pot with care
You hear us curse this God above
In stark defiance, in bleak despair
Until the sudden act of grace
My mercy shown upon the cross
Onto your knees, in saving face
Repent to understand the loss
He hung in pain, He took on sin
Forgive them for they do not know
And then He died and rose to win
To crush death’s grasp, and Satan’s glow
It’s all decreed, it’s all been planned
Before creation, in My thoughts
That, Incarnation, Christ be man
To destroy enmity and plots
And now that You have risen, Lord
The Lamb of God, Your rightful place
The ransom paid, now can afford
Believe in You, accept Your grace
You are the very Son of God
The trumpet sound, You’ll come again
You are the Christ, not Satan’s fraud
Eternal triumph in the end
We need to read, we need to hear
Inspired word of the Paraclete
In every verse, it’s very clear
God’s victory and sin’s defeat
