Where Are the Godly Morals

Where Are the Godly Morals?

It’s not too often that I 
 hear complaints.
Regarding the lacking
of moral restraints.

It seems like many are under
 some kind of a "curse."
What's right or wrong? 
 It seems to be getting worse!

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

Many churches provide
 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 receive.

In many lives, they have 
no "moral boundary."
Many carry 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.
Allow God’s word to 
make your life complete!
