| 'Genesis 1:27' Men were here, since God created him, Perfect and without any sin. But he just had to have it all, All the knowledge that the world can give. And with that came all kinds of grief and despair For all the billions that have walked the earth. However I cannot complain About the mistake that he made Because adding up my faults exceeds his Many and more times over that I can't comprehend. <chorus> In the beginning, God created man And he was good, and He knew The path for every person, Every child and adult, and man and woman Was already in his mind, waiting to bide its time Waiting just for me to realize The importance of that man who was the first And why I give mine all my attention and think too much. Man was given everything that was needed to survive, But instead it was thrown away. And common sense could tell you That bad things happen to all of us, And again I tell you, I am Not blameless, my faults are numbering. That's why God is here to offer us salvation, But only if we believe and confess our sins. <chorus> About this person that I see in front of me But not the God that forgives, And provides eternal life. This I pray that I might come to know you better, And I hold you close each and every night. The thought of not being with you, Lord It tears at my soul, so I must Try to follow in your footsteps With ride, but I cannot move mountains Nor do miracles for one to see, Lord. Amen. <chorus> I need God more than ever in my life I can't deny what He's already done for me As I seek out this God of salvation, Of forgiveness and no end. He is jealous for your heart And you'll be better off, anyway. (c) January 2004 Charissa Tarnow, All rights reserved. |
