Michael Card - Spirit Of The Age (The Final Word Album Version) lyrics

I thought that I heard crying coming through my door Was it Rachel weeping for her sons who were no more Could it have been the babies crying for themselves Never understanding that they died for someone else A voice is heard of weeping and of wailing History speaks of it on every page Of innocent and helpless little babies Offerings to the spirit of the age No way of understanding this sad and painful sign Whenever Satan rears his head, there comes a tragic time If He could crush the cradle, then that would stop the cross He knew that once the Light was born, his every hope was lost A voice is heard of weeping and of wailing History speaks of it on every page Of innocent and helpless little babies Offerings to the spirit of the age Now every age has heard it, this voice that speaks from Hell Sacrifice your children and for you it will be well The subtle serpent's lying, his dark and ruthless rage Behold, it is revealed to be the spirit of the age A voice is heard of weeping and of wailing History speaks of it on every page Of innocent and helpless little babies Offerings to the spirit of the age Soon all the ones who seemed to die for nothing Will stand beside the ancient of days With joy we'll see that Infant from a manger Come and crush the spirit of the age We'll see Him crush the spirit of the age
