O Lord Our God You Are Holy

O Lord our God you are holy
who can we turn to but you
for you created all things
all power is in your hand to do

We look out on our sorry world
getting worse steadily seems forever
sinful man continues always to sin
for lost mankind thinks they're clever

O Lord come and save us again
as you did continually in Bible times
show this world you're it's only hope
their sins continue full of crimes

O Lord our God you paid the price
on Calvary's cross there you died
taking our sins upon yourself
paid our salvation can't be denied

Come now Lord and daily intervene
this pandemic should waken us up
your word is our remedy to act upon
be merciful Lord put grace in our cup

The day of judgement surely is near
then you'll give no second chance
blessed indeed be your holy name
make it live as our living flame

(This is a prayer to our God at this present time concerning our present world situation and the need to pray for God's intervention.)

Many of us are praying more than ever now, Gordon. I, too, believe Judgment Day could be approaching. Mankind is certainly not handling this in a "clever" manner. Guess we're all trying to have hope an end to the pandemic will come -- either through a vaccine or some other way. A very powerful poem, Gordon, and a fave for me! Hugs, Carolyn

Yes, the world has become evil and mean and man has become greedy and selfish - we do need Gods help. Lovely poem Gordon, Hugs and blessings Jennifer.
