Our Broken World

Winters are growing colder, Global warming is a threat, Polar icecaps are melting, Causing scientists to fret. Hurricanes and earthquakes, Tornadoes, floods and fires, These disasters are more frequent, Every year becomes more dire. The economy is broken, Accusations are being flung, Corruption is running rampant, And the trouble's just begun. Jobs are being downsized, Budgets are being slashed. The hungry and the homeless Are increasing mighty fast. There are wars in many nations, World peace an elusive dream. All the hatred and the violence, Is enough to make you scream. People hating people, For the color of their skin. Others killed and tortured, For the faith they have within. Chat rooms on the Internet, Are luring children into harm. The sex and violence on TV, Should signal an alarm. Gangs and drive-by shootings, Drugs and prostitution, Isn't it time we cried "ENOUGH"! Isn't it time for a solution? The Bible has the answers, For what we need to do, To stop this devastation , Our world is going through. God's Word tells us that there is hope, If we'll turn to Him and pray. But first we must forsake our sin, And repent without delay! And if we truly turn away, From the wickedness we've sown, God will hear and answer us, And mercy will be shown. He'll forgive us for our many sins, He'll heal and restore our land. Once again He'll be our God, And in His love we'll stand. O God from whom all blessings flow, Have mercy on us we pray. Deliver us from the enemy's hand. Lead us in Your righteous way.
