Owe we not our souls to God
For sin entangled we fall so far,
Beaten and bruised giving a sacrifice
Yet we in ignorance condemn our lives
Holding on to what is damaging
We say we’re fine make mortals King
Yet patiently He waits for us
Gladly bore our brokenness on a cross
Could any of us lay down our lives
For those who of us hated and despised
When do history’s mysteries become a fable
Only because we now are unable
What defines truth and lie
When love is the only thing on the line
