Pain and Suffering
Fear and Sorrow
Hold me back
Can't see past tomorrow
Hope and Peace
Meant Nothing to me
Love and Joy
Was something I couldn't see
Fear and Hate
Dominate this world
There's nothing pure
Except in His Word
Grace is the only thing that pushes me
on
Love and joy are things I must learn
It's time for the church to do
something more
It's time for war
Evil rules the world everywhere I go
Even in the church it's got a tight
hold
Why aren't we fighting the evil in this
world
And bringing glory to the one that we
serve?
Why don't we care about the things that
really count?
Instead we tend to sit around and doubt
In the power of God and the extent that
he cares
Then we wonder why we don't see him
answer our prayers
It's because evil is blinding our eyes
Binding our hearts and weakening our
lives
It's time to fight back and fight
suffering
And bring grace and hope to those who
are hurting
There are people lost and dying
And
Christians are falling far and hard
Why
isn't God first in our lives?
Why
is all this evil so easy to disregard?
We can't just sit back
And let stuff happen
We've got to stand and fight
We've got to do something different
Our lives need to change
We need to stop and pray
We need to fight
And spread God's light to those around
us everyday
We've
said things are going to change
We've
promised to do things in a different way
But
we haven't changed the way that we live
We
haven't done anything different; we don't even know how to forgive
We
need to follow God no matter what he asks
We
need to be willing to risk everything we have
We
need to let God take complete control of our lives
Before we can fight
With
his power we can fight this evil
We
fight to bring him the glory that he deserves
With
God we have the power to move mountains
With
God we have the power to change the world
But
we have to trust God and his perfect plan
We
have to learn his Word and hold it in our hands
We
have to fight with wisdom and strength
We
have to fight with prayer and faith.
Who are we to take God for granted when there our children who need God so desperately, yet no one has told them of him. There are children who have no hope and no chance unless they find God. Without God, these kids are doomed to die, on the streets, in jail, from aids, drugs, murder, and disease. Why are we comfortably sitting in our rooms and going to our churches and letting these kids die without ever telling them about Christ? God is the only one with the power to save this kids, not only from hell, but from the demons that haunt them, from the people that abuse them, from the men that rape them, from the drugs that are eating them alive. What the heck are we doing, going to our rich white churches Sunday morning and work every day and ignoring the problems and the people who need to know about God? Why are we taking God for granted? Why aren't we sharing our knowledge, we have nothing to lose, but withouth this knowledge,these kids lose the only hope, and their only chance for a better life.
