[Verse]
The skies were dark the earth did weep
A heavy heart that couldn't sleep
Man's wicked ways carved deep and wide
In shadows where the truth can't hide
[Chorus]
Oh it grieved Him deep it broke His soul
A love so vast now bore the toll
He made the world with hands so kind
But sorrow filled His holy mind
[Verse 2]
He saw the hearts all drenched in sin
The fire burned cold deep within
Every thought a crooked line
Evil roots on the holy vine
[Chorus]
Oh it grieved Him deep it broke His soul
A love so vast now bore the toll
He made the world with hands so kind
But sorrow filled His holy mind
[Bridge]
Tears like rain fell from the sky
For man who chose to live a lie
The Maker's heart so full of grace
Now shattered by the human race
[Verse 3]
But even through the darkest pain
A seed of hope began to reign
A promise whispered through the storm
Love reborn in a brand new form |
