O LORD what have we done?
Your word lies in tatters before us
Torn to pieces by your children
We’ve removed the truths too hard
Casting aside that which is painful
As Children lost in the wilderness
We received your word as truth
Believing the Bible to be our guide
Its Divine inspiration our security
Then sins valley faded into fears past
Truth became as we would have it
Accepting only that which we live
Are we to redeem a fallen world?
On what solid rock do we stand?
Is our Bible as the shifting sand?
Absolutes have lost their relevance
Changing as societies elusive moralities
Your word becomes one of many truths
Chose Buddha, Mohammad or Christ
Among them believe what pleases you
After all each spoke many fine words
These people honor me with their lips
Their teachings are but rules
Many rules but taught by men
You have let go of the commands of GOD
Holding onto the traditions of men
With humility on my lips I pray
O LORD what have we done?
