We’re born within a world ‘twas planned
Before we were conceived,
And in its laws we’re called to stand
In world we have received.
For essence of this world’s a gift
From Him–each one creates:
His laws are meant to each one lift
Above to heaven’s gate.
Yet we have spurned those laws of His
And claim that we are free–
Reject the essence of what is,
Claim on our own to be,
Say our existence matters first.
We cast His laws aside,
Think we ourselves can quench our thirst
And don’t in truth abide.
To chaos then we all descend;
Each struggles to survive,
And we ourselves can’t make amends
For wrong that’s deep inside.
Then He who made the essence comes
To our existence save;
Our Father’s fully human Son
Goes down into His grave.
He takes our sin into Himself,
Then with Him we are raised.
Existence is restored to health,
And we His essence praise!
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
