Words
----------
verse1: Disease in your life rots your soul
Wretched hindrance to your growth in God
Recycle countless sin, bondage brings
Wretched hindrance to your growth in God
chorus: Look at the young man
Look at his face
What is the reason for this change
Revival in his heart
Causes havoc for the devil
The destroyer beholds
The destroyer beholds
verse2: Your faith infested by the flesh
Backslidden in your heart you have no time for God
You don't read the word, what's your case
Backslidden in your heart you have no time for God
chorus: Look at the young man
Look at his face
What is the reason for this change
Revival in his heart
Causes havoc for the devil
The destroyer beholds
The destroyer beholds
verse3: Your God calls your name, you've been saved
You won't be tempted beyond your strength
Reach out to His Grace, make a change
You won't be tempted beyond your strength

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official MORTIFICATION tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
