300 The People Living in Such a Filthy Land
Verse 1
Man’s more distant and opposed to God
because man’s born into a land that’s filthy,
he’s been blighted by society,
he has been swayed by feudal ethics,
and trained in “schools of higher learning”;
man’s heart’s been invaded, conscience attacked
by backward thoughts, corrupt morality,
vile philosophies, worthless existence,
depraved customs, lifestyle, and mean views on life.
Chorus
Those who live in darkness
don’t practice truth even when they hear it,
or seek God though they see His appearance.
How can mankind so depraved and decadent
have salvation and live in the light, and live in the light?
Verse 2
Man’s disposition’s more vicious every day.
Not a single person willingly
wants to give up anything for God,
or obey Him and seek His appearance.
Instead they choose to pursue pleasure
under the domain of Satan,
give themselves over to the corruption
of the flesh in the land of mud.
Chorus
Those who live in darkness
don’t practice truth even when they hear it,
or seek God though they see His appearance.
How can mankind so depraved and decadent
have salvation and live in the light, and live in the light?
