Perishing Hope Lyrics

A corrupted world
A wicked and adulterous generation
Misled by their arrogance
Misplacing their trust

Pride goes before desctruction

Pride goes before desctruction
A haughty spirit before the fall

While still growing and uncut
They wither more quickly than grass
Such is the destiny of all who forget God
So perishes the hope of the godless
What they trust in is fragile
They cling to it, but it does not hold

Knowledge puffs up while love builds up
Those who think they know something
Do not yet know
As they ought to know

While still growing and uncut
They wither more quickly than grass
Such is the destiny of all who forget God
So perishes the hope of the godless
What they trust in is fragile
They cling to it, but it does not hold
