Puppet Strings Lyrics
Randy Stonehill
Oh, I can't keep from mourning For this topsy-turvy world With all its strife and pain Mourning for the lost And the desperate children Who can't remember their names
And I can feel it in my soul Now the end is getting near I can hear the Devil laughing And its ringing in my ears
Oh, long ago he chose us To inherit all his kingdom And we were blessed with light But wondering away We disobeyed him In the Garden And stumbled in to night
And I can feel it in my soul Now the end is getting near I can hear the angels weeping And it's ringing in my ears
CHORUS:
We are all like foolish puppets Who desiring to be kings Now lie pitifully crippled After cutting our strings
But God said, "I'll forgive you I will face you man to man And win your love again" Oh, how could there be possibly A greater gift of love Than dying for a friend?
And I can feel it in my soul Now the end is getting near I can hear the Devil laughing And it's ringing in my ears
(Repeat Chorus) Oh ah...Cutting our own strings Oh ah...Cutting our own strings Oh ah
