Who Really Rules the World

When everyone wants peace,
but war is reality.
When love should conquer hate,
but they only retaliate.

Who really rules the world?
Who really rules the world?

When science has all of the answers,
they say that there is no God.
They say, life just happened by chance,
well then, just what are the odds?

Who really rules the world?
Who really rules the world?

It's plain for those who see,
he doesn't care about you and me.
Who really has all the power,
He's in his final hour.

Who really rules the world?
Who really rules the world?

When the blind lead the blind,
don't they both fall in the pit?
Who's the ruler of mankind?
Isn't it time to abandon ship?

Who really rules the world?
Who really rules the world?

It is said that God is love,
we know that it is true.
If he was ruling the world right now,
Just what would you do?

Excellent rendering of why the world is in such chaos, John, The whole world is in the hands of the wicked one, but his time of the end is near. I value your insight. Thanks for sharing this work. ~ Lin ~
