Lost Humanity


Oh the fury of the waves
As they beat upon the sand
They roll on endlessly
Just like the soul of man
The wind when it is fierce
White tops are all you see
The soul when it is lost
Goes onward like the sea

It’s filled with trials and torments
It’s filled with doubts and fears
It’s filled with lust and temptations
It’s been like that for years
It’s filled with wickedness
And sadness you cannot see
It doesn’t even realize
It needs to be set free

The soul that is in torment
Cannot feel the Master’s touch
Cannot feel the love of Jesus
That it needs to feel so much
It doesn’t realize there’s an answer
To all its going through
And so it continues on
Not knowing what to do

Then God in His great mercy
Sends a believer their way
To tell them Jesus Christ
Died on the cross one day
So they wouldn’t have to suffer
The torture they are going through
To tell them He has made a way
To show them what to do

Once they receive the message
And make Jesus Christ their Lord
Their soul’s no longer tossed about
For the Master is on board
They feel the darkness lifting
As dark shadows flee away
The peace they were seeking
Comes in their life that day

My children please be watching
For many are burdened today
They do not know I died
So they don’t have to stay that way
They do not know I bore the nails
Upon the cruel tree
So they could whisper Jesus
And their soul would be set free

Please tell them that I made a way
That I came to bring them life
And that there is no need
For their heart to be filled with strife
And tell them of my love
For I died for them as well
Just point them to the blood I shed
For no one has to go to hell
