THE MAN IN THE HOLE
PLEASE DON'T TRUST US DON'T BELIEVE A WORD WE SAY
LOOK INVESTIGATE EVERY SINGLE THING YOU THINK IS FAKE
EVALUATE AND QUESTION ANYTHING YOU THINK SOUNDS CRAZY
DON'T DELAY MAKE SOME NOTES AND START TODAY
I PRAY YOU FIRST PICK UP A BIBLE LOOK INTO WHAT IT CLAIMS
SEE FOR CERTAIN THAT YOU CAN FIND THE TRUTH IN JESUS NAME
THEN DIG DEEPER AND GET WITH FRIENDS AND STUDY SCRIPTURE
START TO BUILD ON THAT FOUNDATION TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE
GROW TO BE A WITNESS FELLOW BELIEVER BROTHER SISTER IN CHRIST
WITH EYES WIDE OPEN FOCUSED WITH NEW SIGHT
NO YOUR LIFE WILL NOT BE PERFECT
IN FACT WERE FAR FROM IT
BUT KNOW THAT IN THE END
THAT THROUGH HIM YOU'LL REACH THE SUMMIT
START TO LIVE FOR THE INTERNAL
LET GO OF THE EXTERNAL
AND LEARN TO LIVE FOR HIM
A DECISION THAT'S ETERNAL
ITS NOT ABOUT RELIGION
OR A CHURCH OR DOING WORKS
ITS MORE ABOUT ADMITTING
YOU YOURSELF HAVE FALLEN SHORT
BELIEVING IN HIS PLAN
AND KNOW HE UNDERSTANDS
AND SEE THAT HE FORGIVES YOU
AND HE LOVES YOU WHERE YOU STAND
I KNOW IT SOUNDS TO EASY
TO SIMPLE OF A DEAL
BUT THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED
HIS LOVE KNOW ITS FOR REAL
A SOLID ROCK TO STAND ON
THAT NO ONE CAN REFUTE
THE WAY OUT OF THE DARKNESS
AND CONNECTION TO THE TRUTH
HE'S OUR FORTRESS AND OUR SHELTER
OUR REFUGE OUR REDEEMER
HE EXCEEDS ALL THAT WE NEED
HE'S OUR EVERLASTING SAVIOR
YOU'VE HEARD THE STORY TOLD
ABOUT THE MAN WITHIN THE HOLE
WHO TRIED TO FIND HIS WAY OUT
THROUGH EVERY MEANS YOU KNOW
HE TRIED THROUGH MEDITATIONS
TO EARN HIS OWN SALVATION HE TRUSTED
MANY HOLY MEN AND PRACTICED ALL RELIGIONS
HE THEN BEGAN TO THINK THAT
MAYBE HE DID NOT EXIST
ALL OF LIFE WAS AN ILLUSION
BUT IN THE END THERE HE SITS
SO HE FASTED AND HE PRAYED
HE DID IT EVERYDAY AND THOUGHT
THROUGH HIS DEVOTION AND HIS WORKS
HE'D FIND A WAY
HE TRIED FOR MANY YEARS
TO CLIMB OUT OF THIS HOLE
AND COUNTED ON HIMSELF
HIS OWN POWER AND CONTROL
AND AFTER SO MUCH STRUGGLE
AND TIME ALL SPENT IN VAIN
HE CRIED OUT TO HIS MAKER
TO SAVE HIM FROM THE PAIN
SUDDENLY THERE CAME A MAN
WHO SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND
HE WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS
AND SAID HE HAD A PLAN
HE LOWERED DOWN HIMSELF TO BOTTOM OF THE HOLE
THEN CARRIED OUT THE MAN
FROM THE DARKNESS THAT'S BELOW
HE SAID TO TRUST IN HIM
THIS MAN WITH SUCH CONCERN
SUCH LOVE AND SUCH COMPASSION
ASKING NOTHING IN RETURN
HE'S THE ONE THAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE
THE ONE WHO GAVE A HAND
THE ONE THAT MADE IT HAPPEN
WHEN YOU CANT YOU KNOW HE CAN
HE PULLED US OUT THE HOLE
THROUGH HIS MERCY AND HIS GRACE
WE WERE SINNERS IN THE DARK
AND HE ALONE TOOK OUR PLACE
HIS TRUTH WAS THE ALL EXCLUSIVE
BUT ALSO ALL INCLUSIVE
THE PEOPLE THAT HE SAVES
PROVES HIS WORD TO BE CONCLUSIVE
