Overseer

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
