Before the Cock Crowed

A man alone is such a small thing To face a world with hungers Is not as easy as it seems His heart and mind are torn between The Word of God and what he see's His heart can waver and follow the mind Fears and worries multiply in time In the word it says we should fear not Surrounded by troubles the Word is forgot A man by day is something else at night Lust, hunger and greed takes flight Featherless wings they stretch abroad Soaring searching without lord Any kind of hunger can make man steal "Turn the other cheek" be for real Maybe in heaven but not in this world In certain places this make men girls A man by himself is nothing alone But a man with faith can stand on his own Everyman is a failure in his own eyes Everyfaith a failure till Redeemer finds No man can do it by himself A soul like a baby alone needs help Choose wisely between faith and flesh No matter what happenes It's your fate and nothing less The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak Both sides of hunger still killing While those who should be watching Still sleep
