Broken

God gave us a world and we broke it

He gave us His Word when He spoke it

But we did not listen we did not heed

The words of life that we desperately need

A curse was pronounced at the fall

And that failure has affected us all

Things are not what they were at the start

Nothing falls together they just fall apart

There was an image perfect and true

That was broken in me and in you

Now a new birth, a new creation

Is what it takes to fix the desecration

There’s nothing this old world can do

To repair what’s in me and in you

To put in reverse

The primordial curse

In fact, it hasn’t even a clue

There’s only one escape from this strife

In a world where true evil is rife

That’s to be reborn

With a heart transformed

By the Redeemer who can give you new life

Now the old man has died, passed away

For the new man’s made new everyday

And the imago Dei is being restored

By the author of faith- Christ the Lord
