When childhood innocence is lost
The price is a terrible cost
As we grow, we acquire knowledge of the evil that men do
This darkness I try to eschew
Adam and Eve were innocent before the Fall
Now man knows good and evil, and he is fallible
Christ was beaten, mocked, rejected, scourged, and nailed to a cross at Calvary
Jesus paid in blood the price for our salvation that sets man free
Every single sin, past, present, or future, was forgiven by God as Jesus bled
We can have assurance of our salvation; now on righteousness we are fed
Christ willingly endured it for us, you see
Christ did it for mankind; they were in total depravity
Man’s only hope is God’s sovereign grace
Nothing else can redeem the human race
How I long for those halcyon and carefree days of my youth
How heavy a burden it was, when I acquired the truth
Man must repent, believe the Gospel, and trust in Christ alone
Regeneration happens first, then we receive saving faith since Jesus did atone
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is so precious, it is the greatest miracle of all time
The heavenly hosts celebrate for every soul that is saved; this is sublime
