Ever since Adam's fall
That infected us all
We are debtors unable to pay
In bondage and sorrow
We have squandered tomorrow
So where does that leave us today?
Today we are hurting
Afraid and uncertain
Creation is waiting until
Our glorious freedom
The first fruit of Eden
Our glorious king will reveal
All of creation
Is caught in
Frustration
It cost him
To save us
From bondage to sin
The one who
Has made us
Who loved and
Forgave us
Old Adam betrayed us
New Adam come in
Today we are hurting
Afraid and uncertain
Creation is waiting until
Our glorious freedom
The first fruit of Eden
Our glorious king will reveal
All of creation
Is caught in
Frustration
It cost him
To save us
From bondage to sin
The one who
Has made us
Who loved and
Forgave us
Old Adam betrayed us
New Adam come in
