Overseer Songtext
von 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

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

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


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

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.
