Equally Skilled

This is a new song out by Jon Foreman (lead singer of Switchfoot).... It's straight outta Romans, straight Gospel. Just want to share the lyrics :-)


How miserable I am
I feel like a fruit-picker who arrives after the harvest
There's nothing here at all
Nothing at all here that could placate my hunger

The Godly people are all gone
There's not one honest soul left here on the planet
We're all murderers and thieves
Setting traps here for even our brothers

And both of our hands are equally skilled
At doing evil, equally skilled
At bribing the judges, equally skilled
At perverting Justice...
Both of our hands, both of our hands.

The day of justice comes
And is even now swiftly arriving
Don't trust anyone at all
Not your best friend or even your wife

For the son hates the father
The daughter despises even her mother
Look Your enemies are right
Right in the room of your very houshold

And both of their hands are equally skilled
At doing evil, equally skilled
At bribing the judges, equally skilled
At perverting justice
Both of their hands, both of their hands

No, don't gloat over me
For though I fall, though I fall, I will rise again
Though I sit here in darkness, the Lord, the Lord alone- He will be my light
I will be patient as the Lord punishes me for the wrongs I've done against Him
After that He'll take my case bringing me to light and to justice for all I have suffered

And both of His hands are equally skilled
At ruining evil, equally skilled
At judging the judges, equally skilled
Administering justice...
Both of His hands...

Both of His hands are equally skilled
At showing me mercy, equally skilled
At Loving the Loveless, equally skilled
Administering Justice....
Both of His hands, both of His hands.
