For is it just for a man to say
That he is just - is he truthfully?
I’ve traveled ‘round this broken world,
And I’ve not found one, no, not a single one
Who loves his brother.
We should all love each other.
I’ve tried to see the good in everyone,
But I’ve not found one,
No, not a single one,
Righteous enough to save.
Able to show us grace.
Is it all in vain?
And I know it’s hard to hear,
Oh I know you hold me dear,
But I’ll see through what I’ve begun,
There is no one righteous, no not one.
For I cannot contain this thought:
That we are judged by what we have wrought.
I’ve tried to do what I thought was right.
I’m scared to lose, I need you by my side.
I did this for you,
I’ve tried to save as many as I could,
But I’ve not found one, no, not a single one,
Wanting to be saved,
Asking for His grace.
Is it all in vain?
And I know it’s hard to hear,
Oh I know you hold me dear,
But I’ll see through what I’ve begun,
There is no one righteous, no not one.
So we’ll scream.
So we’ll scream.
So we’ll beg.
So we’ll weep.
So we’ll scream.
So we’ll scream.
So we’ll beg.
So we’ll weep.
And I know it’s hard to hear,
Oh I know you hold me dear,
But I’ll see through what I’ve begun,
There is no one righteous, no not one.
A new record from Sondre Lerche is packed full of big hooks, bigger feelings, and twinkly instrumentation more minimalist than baroque. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2020
