Standing and Believing

Martin Luther King this man stood tall held by his deep convictions so real having known of God's sovereign hand this his hour has God's seal But opposition operates much in defiance against all, that's true believing in his heart all he said standing firm so his convictions grew This man had no short-sighted vision in his memorable speech, 'I have a dream' he believed one day to see destiny coming equally for all to redeem But the gun would take him down he would not see his appointed day now 50 years on how far has it come? colour all over the world still holds sway Will we indeed ever see true equality? as man's sinfulness blinds them to be true nothing's changed since Eden's garden itself all men are but fools not knowing what to do!
