Cold Love

We can all read that the love will become cold We can all see that what has been foretold Is the world we live in now We can be amazed that two thousand years ago It was written where the world would go It is the world we live in now The love that is cold is from the brothers close A bitter cup to swallow, a bitter poisoned dose It is the world we live in now We see selfishness We feel loneliness We see lawlessness We feel lovelessness As was sagely said In the pages that I’ve read: “To live up high with the saints we know, Oh Lord, that would be glory, But to live down here with the saints below, Now that’s a different story!”
