Folly

Where could I go How would I stand The foundations crumble all to sand When our faith's in man No measure greater than I am All vanity, it's all vanity No hope in life All a ghost, a blind indifference Pursuing anything to dull the pain of cold existence Where can we go when we're told it's leading nowhere? A fate as black as night We stare right in the abyss Searching the stars for signs Just to quench our thirst for a hope or reason All tragedy, it's all tragedy The blinded leading the blind At our own funeral march No one to cry when you're gone Behold your god There's got to be more than this A hope beyond tomorrow An image carved upon us Behold Our God Your world is deafening The trees cry out in endless praise Even the deafest heart can't escape the song of your perfect grace Our sin you've put to shame Our lives you've paid the ransom This gift of eternal life and a glory shared now and forever The debt's been paid in full You've called us to repentance Your blood has covered all of our unbelief and our disobedience Put in us now, oh God New minds, new hearts, new courage Restore this dying world with a hope and truth that cannot be broken Taste and see the Lord is good Blest is the man who finds his refuge in Him Throw your pride upon his nail-pierced feet And thirst no more lay down your life, find mercy No longer I who live but Christ in me. So come and die, lay down your pride come and die No longer I but Christ in me No longer I who live but Christ in me. So come and die, forsake your pride come and die No longer I but Christ in me
