O Father dear I oftimes hear you speak of evils rile
Her jealousy, her selfish greed, her sinners rude and wild
You have placed us in this land where the prince of dark does dwell.
Then why have you forsaken us, oh the reason to me tell.
Adam and Eve, they lived in peace with their own paradise
Until the time they ate the fruit which began this wicked vice
The devil and sin set right in, I saw their evil scheme
And that's the Holy reason why my Son came to redeem
And yes I do remember my son's own awful pain
The devil and his reprobates were certain sure to gain
They cut down my own children with their cursed demon team
And that's the Holy reason why my Son came to redeem.
My chosen people, bless their souls forsook my Holy laws
And replaced them with their doctrines of separated human clause
They don't repent, but go there way with traditions they all do deem
And thats the Holy reason why my Son came to redeem
My Son endured all your taunts and hung there on a cross
Some of you kissed his wounds that has paid for all your cost
The Lamb was slain and paid your price and let out a voiceless scream
And that's the Holy reason why my Son came to redeem.
Oh father dear, the day will come when all men will swear
And the actions of your Holy Son will be raised up in our prayers
I will one day come to your Heaven where the Holy Lamb does gleam
And loud and high we'll raise the cry for 'Our lord redeems!'
