Psallos - Our Nature Fell Lyrics

Our nature fell in Adam's fall
One common sin infects us all
From sire to son the bane descends
And over all the curse impends
Through all man's pow'rs corruption creeps
And us in dreadful bondage keeps
In guilt we draw our infant breath
And reap its fruits of woe and death
And reap its fruits of woe and death
From hearts depraved, to evil prone
Flow thoughts and deeds of sin alone
God's image lost, the darkened soul
Nor seeks nor finds its heav'nly goal
But Christ, the second Adam, came
To bear our sin and woe and shame
To be our life and by his grace
To new create our fallen race
To new create our fallen race
As by one man all mankind fell
And, born in sin, was doomed to hell
So by one Man, who took our place
We saints receive the gift of grace
We thank you, Christ; new life is ours
New light, new hope, new strength, new pow'rs
This grace our ev'ry way attend
Until we reach our journey's end
Until we reach our journey's end

Our nature fell in Adam's fall
One common sin infects us all
From sire to son the bane descends
And over all the curse impends
Through all man's pow'rs corruption creeps
And us in dreadful bondage keeps
In guilt we draw our infant breath
And reap its fruits of woe and death
And reap its fruits of woe and death
From hearts depraved, to evil prone
Flow thoughts and deeds of sin alone
God's image lost, the darkened soul
Nor seeks nor finds its heav'nly goal
But Christ, the second Adam, came
To bear our sin and woe and shame
To be our life and by his grace
To new create our fallen race
To new create our fallen race
As by one man all mankind fell
And, born in sin, was doomed to hell
So by one Man, who took our place
We saints receive the gift of grace
We thank you, Christ; new life is ours
New light, new hope, new strength, new pow'rs
This grace our ev'ry way attend
Until we reach our journey's end
Until we reach our journey's end
