Mortification - Overseer Lyrics
A compassionate GodLooks down upon the earthAs the void in man's heart grows wideEmpty human grabs at the air aroundAs fashions drift along through lifeChasing the windThe emptiness will never be satisfiedWhile pleasure warms the dullness insideRestoration groans for fulfillmentWithin the captivity of prideCHORUSOverseer, creation testifiesAs pride of man holdsBack the helpless criesDrawing near with armsStretched open wideInviting forgiveness in its placeInsideInstinct persuades the willMen like animals respondTo the calling of desireIgnorant of the creatorMay God subject them allOur to labour on their ownWhen human strength failsThen they'll call upon the LordYet in God's great compassionHe floods His grace upon our soulMankind chooses helplessnessAs pride holds back the criesAnd outwardly denies itAs he closes up insideCHORUSI cry out to the Lord in my distressHe takes away the chainsThat bind my soulLet us give thank for HisUnfailing wordFor He sets us freeCHORUSScripture references:Ecclesiastes 1:14Jude 1:10Nehemiah 9:26-27,31James 1:15Romans 8:18-23Psalm 107:10-16
