Lamentation
All one has to do is note how many commercials on television are geared toward those suffering from depression. Why are so many depressed? With the sins of abortion, infidelity, dishonesty, and corruption so prevalent throughout our culture, the question is Why shouldn’t people be depressed? Medication doesn’t get to the root of these behaviors, nor can it provide a solution. This song identifies where those without Christ live.
Iniquity was I born in;
For in one man we all did sin.
As death did reign in Adam’s fall
So death was passed upon us all.
I from my birth did go astray,
For sin did reign from day to day.
My mouth was ever speaking lies:
All that was good I did despise.
The Lord looks on the man that sins,
To search the heart that lies within.
There is no good for Him to see;
O, wretched man, God hateth thee.
The wages of my sin is death,
And one day I’ll draw my last breath.
Then God will tell me from His throne,
The Lake of Fire is your new home.
Forever more will I be there,
In torment that’s too much to bear;
And ever knowing that my sin
Has brought me to this place I’m in.
The Lord looks on the man that sins,
To search the heart that lies within.
There is no good for Him to see;
O, wretched man, God hateth thee.
