lyrics

Does anybody even recognize common grace
The simplest of things are the hardest to taste
If seeing is believing then your faith cannot be real
How can you comprehend what is carefully concealed

A sincere friend
A child’s hand
A will to mend
I’ll never understand

Does anybody even recognize depravity
The simplest offenses multiply in gravity
If wisdom comes with age then death cannot be real
How can you comprehend what is cleverly concealed

A rush to rend
A sleight of hand
A lifespan’s end
I’ll never understand
