From the recording Spring: The Wind's Story
a bit of "Oh Sinner Man"
Lyrics
The Earth Has Learned to Sin by Mary Rocap
A sinner sure to know his next of kin
And knows when it’s time to hide
But where in the world can a sinner go
Where neither bone nor tide deny
It's a broken morning and a restless night
There’s something new; did I hear God sigh?
The rainbow promise is a-wearing thin
There's an evil spirit is rising and a-moving in
The devil sure to know his next of kin
The earth has learned to sin
The flood has gone, here comes the fire
The devil is a-blaze and the devil’s a liar
Can’t hide in the forest cuz there ain’t no leaves
Can’t hide in the bushes cuz there is disease
Can’t hide in the market - every bird’s a spy
everywhere, all the time, everything has eyes
The flood has gone, here comes the fire
Mountain wants to hide in the deep blue sea
The sea wants to fly as high as high can be
Can’t hide neath the rock cuz the rock won’t budge
Can’t hide in the river cuz the river is mud
Can’t hide in the darkness - it’s light as day
Can’t hide in the Lord cuz you’ve never prayed
Mountain wants to hide in the deep blue sea
