[Verse One]

Dear Diary, hear my plea

Though my eyes cry, through my tears I see

The worlds trend, we done crept up in some real sin

We so spent now we swept up in a whirl wind

And it seems like it wont stop til the world ends

How much more Lord will you endure until then?

Since Adam this pattern has plagued us

We followed our passions and look where it led us

You watched as Adam's first offspring

Off'd his brother cuz he was jealous of his offering

And as the years passed

We just kept going, the floods came as your tears splashed

Mixed with the steam of your fierce wrath

From your broken heart only those on the ark with Noah passed

Cuz only Noah found favor

Even though Noah couldn't hold it down later

Neither could Abraham

Neither could any of the prophets or priests or kings that you raised up stand

So with all these men, if you were grieved then

Then what keeps you from being grieved again?



[Chorus]

We know it's not nothing

It must be something that keeps you from being so grieved again

There'd be more than one flood if it wasn't for the Son's blood

To keep Him from being grieved again



[Verse Two]

Fast forward

From the past toward the present, past the torch light the path for us

Heaven, more than ever, cuz it's darker than it's ever been

We should be outside of the ark screamin' let us in

Check how we be with all our technology

With more ways to sin then any one man could possibly

And yet we invent more, like slaves indentured

Like sin vents through our pours

Evil as far as we can see, now we know drama like TNT

We found Pandora's Box, smashed the lock

Now look what's coming at us even on laptops

They push sin in the cinema, lovin it

Even vote it in to our government

We shed the blood of the innocent

Or know about it and won't do a thing to put an end to it

The way we see is distorted

Babies havin babies, more babies aborted

How can we afford to be this evil

When you flooded earth once what do we think keeps you from being grieved again?



[Chorus]



[Verse Three]

Lord, I know our sin is sky high

And I know you don't turn a blind eye

You see every instance, all at an instant

You don't scoff at sin's stench, so you know we're wonderin

Where's all the rain and thunderin

Did we get away with our dirt, did the darkness cover us

Were our sins hid, won't your eyelids uncover us

But it's not that you're passive, it's just that your grace is active

Right where your wrath should be

So we casually sin til we're sentenced and sent to where they'll be gnashing of teeth

After Noah's flood there's two judgments left

The cross and the one at the end, that's death

And it's not sleep forever, it's beef with God feeling the heat forever

The rest of this life without God is hellish

The afterlife without God, that's what hell is

And we don't want that

Before you come back and we get beat down like drum tracks

Before Messiah comes

Before your eyes are tired of our lives and the fire comes

Help us to see Your Son and to believe in Him

Cuz His blood is the rich flood that keeps you from being grieved again
