Verse 1 We want to build a future that is something we want, A vision of justice no shadow can haunt. So much of our journey feels uncharted and strange, Yet why does it feel like we never can change? Verse 2 We’re reminded of lessons again and again, We felt that we knew them, but lost them back then. Our nature desires what is noble and true, To follow the letter in all that we do. But turning that "better" into a firm habit, Is a thread that unfurls before we can grab it. Verse 3 We lean into lusts of the eyes and the flesh, Caught in a pride that entangles our mesh. As fallen ways flourish, the garden won't bloom, Midst sickness and warring, and death, and the doom. Verse 4 Why does our Creator have patience with man, When we face our calamity, failing His plan? The snake gave the apple, his malice intact, To murder God’s own and to set Heaven back. Verse 5 But the Son and the Spirit through time and through space, Came willing to rescue the whole human race. In His image we’re fashioned, with a will to contend, To see a new future that shoulders the bend. Verse 6 He cast out the demons, He conquered the debt, He opened the pathway and finished the set. While I breathe the same air as the saints of the ages, I’m fully aware that our lives go in stages. Verse 7 I’m setting aside time to pray and concede, His ways are most holy and righteous indeed. Oh Jesus, my brother, my kindred, my King, I bow low before You; Your praises I sing. Chorus / Outro Praise to the Father, and praise to the Son, Praise to the Spirit, the Three-in-the-One. Oh Holy of Holies, from beginning to end, Please take this broke vessel and offer to mend.
