Hope
In a world of pain and suffering
People lost and in despair
This world remains in darkness
Violence everywhere.
Marriage break ups, sex is cheap
Morals have all gone
Families torn apart with grief
Where did we all go wrong.
Knife crime is rife among our youth
They rob the old for gain
They are fueled with drugs and alcohol
To hurt and kill and maim.
The future of this world today
There's not much hope around
Religion's try to show the way
But within them flaws are found.
The Politicians have no answer
As darkness rushes in
Can anybody save this world
From drowning in its sin.
In this world of darkness
There is hope a light I see
For only He can save this world
And set the captives free.
Religion it will fail
Politicians too
Only Jesus Christ the light of the world
Can break this sin in you.
