Give This World Back To God

This society today
Where kids do drugs and fall astray
We need more Jesus
So he can love us and lead us

We, as a nation, have fallen behind
This is not what was in His mind
Shooting & killing, with your bullets and words
I am beginning to think this is for the birds

I pray for this Earth that He made
That one day we will engage in trade
The trade of peace for peace
Instead of cotton for fleece

For God so loved the world
He gave His only begotten son
So let’s not get this twirled
& rejoice in the salvation that has begun

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
