Another T

Another T song. I couldn't resist because the song lent itself so well. Here's another Nat King Cole classic, Unforgettable, by Irving Gordon with new words about total depravity.

Totally depraved, that's what we are
Totally depraved in deed and heart
Like some filthy rags, foul and unclean
Is the value of our righteous deeds
Like Adam before, no one could be more

Totally depraved in every way
And forever more we would have stayed
That's why it is so incredible
That Christ gave His life impeccable
For one so totally depraved, too.

Here's the original song:

John Owen

And suddenly my sin will never be the same to me

John Owen
It's hard to read dudes like John Owen
But paperbacks abridged are helpful for the folks like me

John Owen
Take your time and digest it slowly
Feed your soul as your pride is made lowly

John Owen
The great theologian, John Owen

Here is the original from the 1961 musical:
