While we were still sinners, Christ died for us

Their hearts are far from You
Eyes filled with malice
Mouths full of anger and lies
They spit at you
Though the sun declares who You are
They have darkened their eyes from knowing You
Why should you even care?
Just destroy them all and show them
that You are who You say You are

But You are slow to anger
Compassionate and abounding in love
You have come not to condemn the world
But to save it
They hate you, yet you still died for them
While my own father was once your enemy
You loved him and saved him
Perhaps in that crowd there are those
who will one day come to know You
Who will repent for their unbelief
Perhaps they will have children
who will praise Your Name.
