about

The same follies Eve and the Prodigal Son fell subject to are evident in all of our lives. Our habitual selfishness points to a deeper truth: that we are all trying desperately to be our own "gods" when the truth is, we are all just desperate. In the midst of that lonely and ultimately unsatisfying lifestyle, there is always God, steadfast and true. Once we've tasted His love, we will never again crave the world's empty promises.

lyrics

The garden was young then
And the lovers were new
The fig leaves were green yet
And the tree had itʼs fruit

She wanted to be God
She ate unto her death
Her lover, he tasted the fruit of regret
Theyʼre never going back again

I had all that I wanted
But I stole anyway
I lied and I cheated
Iʼll suffer the same

I wanted to be God
Now Iʼm falling to my knees Iʼm asking to come home
A servant to the King
And Iʼm never going back again

I fall before you naked and ashamed
Yet in my weakness, perfect is your strength
You clothe me in grace and now I stand unstained

And Iʼm never going back again

And I donʼt want to be God.....
