God’s glory and splendor for all displayed

Eternal power and divine nature

Revealed so all men are without excuse

Yet we turned our backs and covered our eyes

We cast him off and coveted his throne

And our foolish hearts were darkened

 

He gave us life and every breath we take

Light to sustain us and rain for our crops

Nurturing care for the just and unjust

Yet claiming to be wise, we became fools

We label evil good and good evil

As our foolish hearts are darkened

 

He turned us over to depravity

Consumed with lusts and our evil passions

We have hated both God and our neighbor

With murd’rous rage through gritted teeth we shout

My will be done, to hell with all the rest

For our foolish hearts are darkened.

 

We’ve been blinded to all that evil’s wrought

Our hearts as dry as the parched desert sands

Opposed to our Creator’s perfect will

Relationship with Father forsaken

We need His Living Water, Light and Life

Lord, please save our foolish hearts from darkness!
