This is the world we've been born into
It creeks and groans but it's all we've known
Each day we wake to some more bad news
Oh how we wish that it were not so
This is the world Jesus came into
He shared our struggles and shared our flesh
And so he knows what we're going through
Walked many miles in our shoes
If I am honest
We really need some help
We won't survive this
Depending on ourselves
Even our efforts
Are tainted by our sin
But our God has shown us love
For he sent his only Son
And he took upon our flesh
To redeem us from this mess
The pain and sadness
We see and we create
Is symptomatic
Of our corrupted state
From our Creator
We turned and walked away
But our God has shown us love
For he sent his only Son
And he took upon our flesh
To redeem us from this mess
Nothing in the world could ever save me from this world
Nothing in the myself could ever save me from myself
If I am honest
We really need some help
We won't survive this
Depending on ourselves
Even our efforts
Are tainted by our sin
But our God has shown us love
For he sent his only Son
And he took upon our flesh
To redeem us from this mess
