Lyrics
For the pride that drives a man to war
Lets his anger burn
Makes him blind to all but his own cause
For the greed that turns his heart to stone
Makes him grasp for more
Makes him slave to all his eyes desire.

Jesus has died and taken all upon himself
Exhausts its power, endures its pain
And, in the face of hate, cries “Father, forgive”
Arms open wide, embraces all.

For desire that drives a man to hurt
Even those he loves
Leads him on and leads his heart astray
For ambition’s yearning after power
For its will to rule
And to crush whoever’s in the way.
