Breaking News  

Breaking news  - - Breaking news 
It flashes again across our screen 
Lately it happens more and more 
It seems to be almost routine 

It could be an accident or fire 
But more often it's a brutal act
Conveyed by hands of evil men
Against society, they seek impact 

What makes it even more profound 
Most often it's not against their kind 
But children and the innocent 
Are victims of an evil mind 

It’s a basic fact, since in the garden
When mankind departed from God’s way 
Animosity and sin has been the rule 
Grief and strife, is the price we pay 

Hatred and malice against a neighbor 
Or our stance upon philosophy 
Denying someone their opinion 
No place for truth and God's reality 

Only when our lives are yielded to Him 
Will there be abiding peace 
If we would apply 2 Chronicles 7:14
Then hatred and turmoil, - would cease
