We have let our eyes wander
We have taken what is not ours
We have crafted our lies and our cover ups
Abusing our power
We betrayed those who trusted us
We have let our hearts stray
We have cheated and mistreated anyone
Who got in our way
Since the Garden of Eden
Our story's the same
We took what we wanted
And then shifted the blame
Have mercy on us, O Lord
Set us free from our sin
Bring us out of this death
And make us alive again
We have suffered in silence
Had our dignity stripped away
We've been used and discarded
Abandoned, rejected, disgraced
We have prayed for deliverance
We have cried out, How long?
Powerless and unprotected
Wounded and wronged
Since the Garden of Eden
Our story's the same
Misused and exploited
Swallowed up by our shame
Have mercy on us, O Lord
Set the world free from our sin
Bring us out of this death
And make us alive again
Despised and rejected
And familiar with all our grief
A man of sorrows
He came down to bring us relief
Since Gethsemane's garden
Our story's been changed
Forgiveness, redemption
Take the place of our shame
Let your kingdom come quickly, Lord
Fully free us from sin
Bring us out of this death
And make us alive again
No more mourning or pain
Lord, make us alive again
Make all our wrongs right
And make us alive again
