The Wickedness That Abounds

The Wickedness That Abounds!

As it was in Noah's day, so shall 
it be at Christ' coming.
Just look at our nation!
And how wicked it's becoming!

Many families are falling apart...
and here's the reason why...
Many have exchanged God's truth 
for a corruptible lie.

Professing to be wise, we have become fools.
By exchanging God's word for 
our own “set of rules.”

Doing “whatever feels right” according
 to one’s interpretation.
Sinful “pleasures” have brought 
God's wrath on our nation.

Promoting sexual sins
 and perversions of every kind…
We have violated the conscience 
God placed in our mind.

Becoming very arrogant, boastful
and filled with pride.
This “mountain of garbage” has washed
 ashore with an ungodly tide.

Our only hope in this stink and filth
 we find ourselves in.
Is coming to Jesus Christ...and repent of every sin!

Heaven or hell? Which place would you rather be?
Living in bondage, or to have your 
chains removed and be set free!

Jesus is our only hope in the midst
 of uncertainty and fear.
Remember his coming draws ever so close!
It's almost here!
