350 Corrupt Man Cannot Represent God
Verse 1
All the actions and deeds of Satan
are manifested in man.
All the actions and deeds of man
are an expression of Satan.
They can never represent God.
Man is Satan’s embodiment.
The disposition of man cannot
represent the disposition of God.
Verse 2
Some people are of good character;
God may work through such people.
Though they’re led by the Holy Spirit,
the work God does upon them
is nothing more than expanding on
what already exists within.
No one directly represents God:
prophets of yore nor those God uses.
Chorus
The example of Jesus is enough to prove
none who are of sin can represent God.
The sin of man represents Satan.
Sin does not represent God; God is without sin.
Even the Holy Spirit’s work in man
is merely directed by the Spirit.
It’s not done by man on behalf of God.
Neither man’s sin nor disposition represents God.
Verse 3
All things from God are positive.
But the disposition of man,
it has been processed by Satan
and it cannot represent God.
Only the love, the will to suffer,
righteousness, submission, humbleness
and hiddenness of God incarnate
can directly represent Him.
Bridge
This is because when He came,
He came without a sinful nature;
He came directly from God,
without being processed by Satan.
Jesus just takes the form of sinful flesh
and does not represent sin;
His actions, deeds, and words
before completing His work
through His crucifixion
all directly represent God Himself.
Chorus
The example of Jesus is enough to prove
none who are of sin can represent God.
The sin of man represents Satan.
Sin does not represent God; God is without sin.
Even the Holy Spirit’s work in man
is merely directed by the Spirit.
It’s not done by man on behalf of God.
Neither man’s sin nor disposition represents God.
