By Not Being of This World

As the river continues to flow gathering all in it's path
There is one thing I know, it is tempting God's wrath
Some people call it change as I turn around and say
Always trying to rearrange what God's set as the Way

And as it gathers steam so fewer and fewer can resist
All playing on the wrong team and yet how they insist
For what God has set in place is according to His Will
So the consequences we'll face will be a very bitter pill

The tide continues to turn pulling more and more out
Those who never did learn Jesus already won this bout
So they just go along in being pulled on down the stream
Being no right nor is there any wrong or so it would seem

But things are not as they seem when you can not see
It's only Jesus who can redeem setting your soul free
So get away from over there or you will be sucked in
Now's the time to care in seeking forgiveness for sin

Proverbs 3:35 
“The wise shall inherit glory: 
but shame shall be the promotion of fools.”
