Spirit Of The Age (the Final Word Album Version) Lyrics - Singles - Michael Card

I thought that I heard crying coming through my door 

Was it Rachel weeping for her sons who were no more 

Could it have been the babies crying for themselves 

Never understanding that they died for someone else 

A voice is heard of weeping and of wailing 

History speaks of it on every page 

Of innocent and helpless little babies 

Offerings to the spirit of the age 

No way of understanding this sad and painful sign 

Whenever Satan rears his head, there comes a tragic time 

If He could crush the cradle, then that would stop the cross 

He knew that once the Light was born, his every hope was lost 

A voice is heard of weeping and of wailing 

History speaks of it on every page 

Of innocent and helpless little babies 

Offerings to the spirit of the age 

Now every age has heard it, this voice that speaks from Hell 

Sacrifice your children and for you it will be well 

The subtle serpent's lying, his dark and ruthless rage 

Behold, it is revealed to be the spirit of the age 

A voice is heard of weeping and of wailing 

History speaks of it on every page 

Of innocent and helpless little babies 

Offerings to the spirit of the age 

Soon all the ones who seemed to die for nothing 

Will stand beside the ancient of days 

With joy we'll see that Infant from a manger 

Come and crush the spirit of the age 

We'll see Him crush the spirit of the age
