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]
