The World Is In a Mess

Do you believe there is a God
Maybe you couldn't care less
But this you must agree with me
The world is in a mess.

Famine, wars, murders, hate
False doctrine on the rise
Jesus said these things would be
So why should we be surprised.

Politicians promise a better world
Whilst promoting laws of sin
They haven't got the answer
To all the mess we're in.

Religion is a waste of time
It can't even save it self
Boasting in their religious laws
Whilst leaving Jesus on the shelf.

The heart of man is wicked
And grows colder day by day
That's why the world is in a mess
Our hearts have gone astray.

Sin is strong and powerful
It can override our will
That's why the world is in a mess
Men murder, hate and kill

What can man do today
To change the mess we're in
Of himself nothing at all
Because the problem here is sin.

This sin it must be broken
To change the heart of man
We cannot do it on our own
But I know someone who can.
                JESUS.
