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 CHORUS 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 CHORUS 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 CHORUS Scripture references: Ecclesiastes 1:14 Jude 1:10 Nehemiah 9:26-27,31 James 1:15 Romans 8:18-23 Psalm 107:10-16
