Overseer Lyrics - Mortification

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
