What's Right Or Wrong Anymore

Very seldom do I hear 
 any complaints.
Regarding the lacking
of moral restraints.

It seems like many are under
 some kind of a "spell."
What's right or wrong? 
 Many can't even tell!

Where are the moral leaders
 this nation needs?
As the heart of this nation continually bleeds.

Many chuches provide
very little discretion.
Pretending to be "Godly" ... yet no moral direction.

No wonder many people don't 
know what to believe.
A lifestyle of lying, drugs and
 sex is what they achieve.

In their lives, they have 
no "moral boundary."
Many carrying a load of "dirty laundry."

To those of you who want 
satisfaction and victory too...
There is a "moral compass" 
that's freely offered to you!

This "moral compass," 
is God's word...a solid foundation!
Which speaks of HIS love
 and his gift of salvation!

If your life is filled with hurt, 
and has no true meaning.
It's in the direction of Jesus 
you need to be leaning!

You don't have to live in 
despair and defeat.
Jesus' grace and love will 
make your life complete!
