Shai Linne - In Adam All Die lyrics

Therefore, just as sin came into
The world through one man
And death through sin
And so death spread to all men
Because all sinned
Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses
Even over those whose sinning was not
Like the transgression of Adam
Who was a type of the one who was to come

We’re cursed from our birth
Sinning from the beginning
The womb to the tomb, depraved to the grave
Astray every day, every breath brings death
In Adam all die, In Adam all die
We’re rebels like the devil
Scheming like demons
Prideful with our idols
Disgusting with our lusting
Twisted and sin-sick, selfish and helpless
In Adam all die, In Adam all die

Everybody knows that they're guilty
Our conscience condemns us
Shows us we're filthy
Truth be told, we really have no answers
For why we fall short of
Our own moral standards
The evidence for God is simply bountiful
And it's illogical to think we
Won't be held accountable
A universal day of judgment approaches
Any rational notion of justice
Would presuppose this
And deep down inside, everybody knows this
But we disregard it because
Our deeds are atrocious
We prefer the vicious
Our words are malicious
Our slurs pernicious
We find the absurd delicious
Depraved in our appetites- the things
We crave are lacking light
Because sin's got us enslaved
And shackled tight
And if we are to understand the fruit
We need to go back and examine the root

We’re cursed from our birth
Sinning from the beginning
The womb to the tomb, depraved to the grave
Astray every day, every breath brings death
In Adam all die, In Adam all die
We’re rebels like the devil
Scheming like demons
Prideful with our idols
Disgusting with our lusting
Twisted and sin-sick, selfish and helpless
In Adam all die, In Adam all die

The world we live in wasn't always like this
The early days had perfect
Righteousness and bright bliss
Man and woman under God-ruled
Government at first bubbling with mirth
Immersed in loving with no hurts
God gave what theologians call
The covenant of works
Forbidden fruit- the day you eat
Of it you'll be cursed
Husband wasn't alert wife lacked discernment
Entrapped by the serpent and that
Was the first sin
The consequences were monumental in fact
I'm not convinced they had a clue
Of what they'd gotten into
Their eyes were opened more-
Truth in the lies to their surprise
They didn't get the prize
They were hoping for
They see their nakedness and now regret it
They tried to cover their guilt and
Then blame shift- how pathetic
And it's a true story-
You want some evidence?
We've been doing the same thing ever since

We’re cursed from our birth
Sinning from the beginning
The womb to the tomb, depraved to the grave
Astray every day, every breath brings death
In Adam all die, In Adam all die
We’re rebels like the devil
Scheming like demons
Prideful with our idols
Disgusting with our lusting
Twisted and sin-sick, selfish and helpless
In Adam all die, In Adam all die

We talk Adam and Eve, cats
Think we're "throwed off", really
They don't think it relates to
Thugs in North Philly
But, it's like Switchfoot said- we
Were meant to live
But in the garden Adam was our representative
So when the Judge executed the sentence
Adam's guilt was imputed to his descendents
Global calamity major debt, pain, regret
The reign of death- total depravity
And yes, I'm aware that cats were not there
Which opens the door to charges
Of "that's not fair"
But God is not subject to
Fallen notions of fairness
Besides, when it comes to God's glory
Most could care less
We can't measure how we chase sand treasures
And banned pleasures- similar
To our ancestors
So instead of saying if you were
There what you would do
Seek your refuge in Adam number two

We’re cursed from our birth
Sinning from the beginning
The womb to the tomb, depraved to the grave
Astray every day, every breath brings death
In Adam all die, In Adam all die
We’re rebels like the devil
Scheming like demons
Prideful with our idols
Disgusting with our lusting
Twisted and sin-sick, selfish and helpless
In Adam all die, In Adam all die

The problem with the human race is not most
Deeply that everybody does various
Kinds of sins
Behind all of our depravity, behind
All of our guilt, behind
All of our personal sinning there
Is this mysterious connection, or
Union with Adam our Father, whose sin
And we been in
Him in some mysterious way also sin, and die
And are condemned
What Christ has done for all
Who are in him is
Far greater than what Adam did for all who
Are in him it's all about
The superiority of the
Work of Christ for those who are in him
Over-against what happened to all
Who are in Adam
