lyrics

I believed the serpent's lies
The fruit was easy on the eyes
I saw the it would make me wise
Beyond the simple life I'd always known
And how I longed for a life I could call my own

And so I ate the fruit
I did not wait for you, O Father

I was not a faithful son
I was always on the run
I wouldn't see that what I'd done was really wrong
Or that wrong was even real
And how I longed for a life I could really feel

And so I ate the fruit
I did not wait for you, O Father

Oh, I didn't know who I was
There were too many voices
Is a traveler free just because
He's got all kinds of choices
I was lost
I was wandering around
Trying hard to find
Never asking to be found
I was lost
And I couldn't lose the curse
Cuz every road I tried made it worse

Then one day, I knew
I had to pray to you

And like a garden from a seed
Sprang your hope to fill my need
I knew I needed you to lead me to the home
Where I'd always have enough
Where my longings for life
Would be filled with love

And you have made me new
Your saving grace is true, O Father
