Human Nature
Embracing the Divine Journey: Reflections on Human Nature
Lyrics
Remember now your good Creator
Reminder to acknowledge the Creator
Who orders the times with you in mind
The Creator considers and plans for humanity
And keeps you for His good pleasure
Human existence is for the Creator's satisfaction
You wonder why, to test and try
Questioning the purpose behind trials and challenges
Your faith, your hope, your love in
Emphasis on faith, hope, and love
The way, the truth, the life
Referencing key principles in life (the way, the truth, the life)
My God, my Lord, and Savior
Personal acknowledgment of God as Savior
That was, and is, and is to come
God's eternal nature (past, present, future)
And keep in mind your vain mortality
Reflection on human mortality and insignificance
Smoke in a jar, dust in a star (That's all you are)
Metaphorical representation of human fragility and cosmic existence
Shooting for glory in eternity
Desire for eternal glory despite human folly
O, silly girl; Ah, foolish man
Addressing human foolishness and naivety
First learn to live
Importance of learning to live authentically
By faith, by hope, by love in
Reiteration of faith, hope, and love
The way, the truth, the life
Reaffirmation of fundamental life principles
My God, my Lord, and Savior
Personal connection with God as a constant presence
Who is and was and is to come
Reference to God's eternal nature
But it's in our nature to forget our nature
Human tendency to forget their essence
Yeah, it's human nature to go against nature
Highlighting human inclination to defy natural tendencies
So keep in mind the war for your soul
Awareness of the spiritual struggle for one's soul
The enemy is fierce yet we'll overcome them all
Confidence in eventual victory despite strong opposition
Even though I sometimes stumbled
Admission of personal mistakes or faults
We'll never fall if and so long as we
Assurance against ultimate failure through specific actions
Keep faith, keep hope, keep love in
Encouragement to maintain faith, hope, and love
The way, the truth, the life
Reiteration of essential life principles
My God, my Lord, and Savior
Personal connection with God as Savior
Who is and was and is to come
Reference to God's eternal nature
But it's in our nature to forget our nature
Re-emphasis on human forgetfulness of their inherent nature
Yeah, it's human nature to go against nature
Stating the inclination to act contrary to natural instincts
