The Changing Face of Shame
So much has changed
in the past 50 years or so
one thing is the word shame
once a friend now our foe
Half a century ago it had a fear
a true fear of God was felt
among a generation back then
when one's heart would easily melt
Churchgoing then was popular
not to attend brought one shame
generally, most of the time did believe
it's all changed but who's to blame?
Today to believe in God and Christ
one's told you've gone completely mad
mankind thinks they know it all
such anti-God foolishness is so sad
Jesus said in the latter days this would come
Man would love self more than God
believers must keep hold of the faith
despite shame hold fast to your sword
Don't be ashamed of God's word
keep on believing no matter what
for God will reward your belief
defeating His enemy's deep dark plot
