"A Love That to Our Nature is Bound"

A love that to our nature is bound,
hatred for God; our ending sound.
Our condemnation written in the skies,
broken cisterns are where our love abides.

Created to reflect the God of Light,
lo, we run to dwell secure in the night.
A wide separation from heavens land,
in the sight of fierce wrath, doth all flesh stand.

Roaming this world in all its design,
kept from observing the Sublime.
Days of cruelty everywhere we go,
from all hearts doth wickedness flow.

In the garden dwelt sweet serenity,
between God and man was no enmity.
Yet, the proud enticer brought forth the lie,
causing the hearts flowing spring to dry.

Man following the steps of pride,
trust in Wisdom was pushed aside.
Defying the Holy Magistrate,
no hope for our judgment to abate.

A love that to our nature is bound,
no good within our hearts can be found.
Wandering rebels against Yahweh,
His indignation stored up each day.
