Desperately Wicked

Natural disasters plague this world
Bringing death and pain
Evil empires rise and fall
Leaving some to blame
Where was God when Katrina raged?
When the twin towers burned in flames
If all powerful then why?

All of the wisdom of man withers
In light of God's eternal plan
And only one thing remains secure
The living word of God

Desperately wicked we are born
Corrupted seeds
This stronghold grips humanity
The curse of sin
Where was God when temptation came?
A perfect world is led astray
If all powerful then why?

All of the glory of man withers
When flesh makes flesh the strength it fails
And only one thing remains secure
The living word of God

Twisting words the serpent roused our evil pride
You can be like God
Your eyes will open wide
You will never die

Expelled from the garden
Falling for the lie
Now death, pain and sorrow
Scar all human life

Flesh and spirit raging on
The war within
Life or death / Cursed or blessed
The choice is given
In the perfect sacrifice
A hope remains
Redemption by the blood He shed
Love overcame
