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.
