Wildcard of Grace
I don't understand this old world
But when I think it starts to make sense
There's no correlation to the truth
But still truth has a consequence.
It's not the journey nor the journey's end
It's the one with whom we have to contend
This old world is fallen and blowing all to hell
And it's just a delusion to think that all is well.
You might think this life's aÝ game
And you mightÝ make-believe and pretend
But if you don't know Jesus,
There is just a bitter end.
The world is full of prisoners of war
It is that way now as it was before
But there is a ÝRedeemer who does His work in you
And he sends His agents of redemption Ýto do what He would do.
Thereís a wildcard of grace
That God plays when He wills
And the game is not over, not over until
His last card is played
And His judgments are made
And every tongue will lie still.
It's not the journey nor the journey's end
It's the one with whom we have to contend
This old world is fallen and blowing all to hell
And it's just a delusion to think that all is well.
You might think this life's aÝ game
And you mightÝ
make-believe and pretend
But if you don't know Jesus,
There is just a bitter end.
