The World Doesn't Understand

The world doesn't understand
How we got to this point
Where you see evil around every corner
And our effort seems to only disappoint
They blame You for the downfall
They look to You, only to ask, "why!?"
Yet they don't listen for Your voice
When You answer their cry
They say you must not exist
A God of Love who allows such corruption
They don't understand Your will
How they're to blame for sin's disruption
You are not the one to blame
You gave us free will to hold us accountable
You warned us without Jesus Christ
True salvation was insurmountable
But they didn't seem to listen
As they tried to control their own reality
They lost the path where You live
Trading their hope for a sinners mentality
You still love them unconditionally
Yet your love doesn't outweigh Your judging hands
When they had the chance to turn to you
Yet chose to break your commands
Their pride got in the way
Blinding them from the light You shine
Throwing away the promises you provided
Doubting Your perfect will and design
They turned this world into a pit
A dangerous place where happiness is rare
Creating two paths that can never cross
Forcing the choice of grace or despair
The world has nothing to offer
And is there for the impure and proud
The alternate is follow Jesus
To do away with the crowd
To shout His name out loud
You will not win the battle on earth
Although the enemy will not win You
Because you are protected by Christ
And when those golden gates
Set up their home on earth,
You'll get to go through
