The Sorrow

Jeannie has a problem
Thoughts she can't ignore
She used to have a baby
She don't have it anymore
Billy was the boy
She couldn't live without
But after he got word of it
He could not be found

Oh, the sorrow
Oh, the pain
The way lives fall apart
Is such a shame

Barry was a lawyer
Now he's in a prison cell
Because he took some money
That belonged to someone else
First it was little, then became a lot
Once greed gets a hold of you
It's awfully hard to stop

Oh, the sorrow
Oh, the pain
When lives fall apart
Who is to blame

And nobody tries to lose it all
Or decides to take a fall
It's all because of choices
That we make
And it's true that the world
Is a dangerous place
It's easy to make mistakes
That's why I believe in grace

Adam had the symptoms
But we got the disease
From very poor decision
Making all about some trees
Now it seems so easy
For wrong to win the day
But truth will triumph in the end
'Cause Jesus is the way

Oh, the sorrow
Oh, the shame
When He gave His life
He took the blame

And nobody tries to lose it all
Or decides to take a fall
It's all because of choices
That we make
And sometimes
Our passions lead us astray
Then our pride gets in the way
That's why I believe in grace

No one here is righteous
No one in this place
I believe 'cause I've received
I believe in grace
