Benediction Lyrics
The Benediction - Jimmy Needham
No one is good
There's not even one
The front pages of papers of children raped by rapist
Iraqi torture chambers and we the blame claim we're blameless
Wrong
All
And swelling up inside of us there's this pride in
Us this arrogance
And our only line of defense is the sense that
I'm not as half as bad as this friend of
Mine so I must be fine
We mean well don't we
Yet I've never seen good intentions set a man free
From hurt
All
This poor unfortunate soul
Filling a single void with toy after toy with girl
After boy
How boring this wasn't this meant to be humanity's life
Story
Warring with good saying what have you done for me
Bought
All
Hanging out for six hours
Marred beyond recognition
In complete submission to the father's will still
A proclamation was made louder than the loudest temptation
With more beauty than all his creation
More eternal than eternity more angelic than the heavenlies
It is done
You and bought with blood
Accept
Rejoice
For freedom has come
