I love this song and it's lyrics. It is off the new Christmas album from High Street Hymns. You can download it here.
O come, o come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
Chaotic, aching, waiting on someone to change it
This world we living in is breaking
Shaking from the pains of earthquakes, tsunamis and
temperature changes, recycling ain’t gonna save it
Let’s look at our behavior, a political agenda in a
state of complacence don’t even care about the nations
Oppressed countries in Africa being raped and enslaved
for natural resources we benefit from in the states
We in a war worldwide, mind and body
Sex trafficking around the globe buying up bodies
Young girls and young boys lives destroyed over lust
We claim to be religious, where are we putting our trust?
We just lost another brother a victim of gang violence
Can’t snitch justice fails cause the hood remains silent
We got welfare but most the world in poverty crying
Sick and dying cause they’re hungry, but no ones replying
Man! We in this broken world and no we can’t fix it
Demonic world system and its all about the riches
Corrupt top to bottom since the fall of our existence
We all know it, but just too scared to admit this
We try to make a change but no matter how persistent
We lack the power because we got evil in us
O Lord, my soul’s in deep anguish
How long, how long until this pain ends?
O come, o come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadow put to flight
Hi hater, I mean hi neighbor, we so conformed to this
world we don’t see the sinfulness in our nature
We’re broken individually, and indeed spiritually
We’ll even threaten your death and leave you bleeding fearlessly
But the issue is inward, we’re enslaved to our rage
Like when a white person uses the n-word
Blacks become a bitter race, blame it on The Man
Uncle Sams, unforgiveness we put in place
Half the time I don’t blame them, we only seem
good for entertainment it’s a shame black history’s been erased
For a country full of faith, we sh’oll need some grace
More divorces than ever new single moms every day
What happened to the love? What happened to the vows?
What happened to it takes a village to raise a child?
We back on the verge of virtual segregation
My education tells me I’m going to the state pen
Even my own race I have no relation
Only misguided hate, but if I have some patience
And trust in our God that He’ll bring salvation
Not just for you and me but His whole creation
Desire of nations bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of Peace
Bid our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of Peace
We need a King! We need a Savior!
Someone who can ransom us from our behavior
Satan I hate ya! Had a relationship with God
but cuz of you we had to break up
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
O Come Emmanuel so we can make up
Sin in our hearts left a crimson stain but
You can cover our iniquities like a paint brush
Until the Son of God appear
Until the Son of God appear
Until the Son of God appear
