Overseer |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
