English Christian Song | "The People Born Into Such a Filthy Land"

June 2, 2024

I

Born into such a filthy land,

man has been severely blighted by society,

he has been influenced by feudal ethics,

and he has been taught at "institutes of higher learning."

The backward thinking, corrupt morality, mean view on life,

despicable philosophy for worldly dealings,

utterly worthless existence and depraved lifestyle and customs—

all of these things have severely intruded upon man's heart,

and severely undermined and attacked his conscience.

As a result, man is ever more distant from God,

and ever more opposed to Him.

II

Man's disposition becomes more vicious by the day,

and there is not a single person

who will willingly give up anything for God,

not a single person who will willingly submit to God,

nor, moreover, a single person who will willingly seek God's appearance.

Instead, under the power of Satan, man does nothing but pursue pleasure,

giving himself over to the corruption of the flesh in the land of mud.

Even when they hear the truth,

those who live in darkness

give no thought to putting it into practice,

nor are they inclined to seek even if they've seen His appearance.

How could a mankind so depraved have any chance of salvation?

How could a mankind so depraved have any chance of salvation?

How could a mankind so decadent live in the light?

How could a mankind so decadent live in the light?
