World of Decay
Down on my knees praying to you
My heart now broken, the world is askew
I am sad and confused and tears fill my eyes
As I watch the news I’m beginning to despise
I hear nothing of good only of evil
I fear our world is in major upheaval
When four little babies six, four, two and one
Found in such filth, damage has been done
Imagine their life where love comes from drugs
With only cold hard facts and no lovely snuggs.
No bed to sleep in , no comfort to be found
Sleeping in a closet with feces all around
How can a mother let her babies be abused
In such a sad, sad manner, this can’t be excused.
My heart is so heavy and totally confused
How could you let these babies be so misused.
I pray to you Jesus, I pray every day
That this evil I see will all go away.
Yet continue the murders, the abuse and the crime
I’m beginning to think we are about out of time.
Do you hear me Lord Jesus, do you hear what I say
Our world is now crazy and full of decay.
I need you Lord Jesus, and others need you to
To fight this evil that is steering them from you.
So give us your strength to guide us in peace
For this evil we see has got to cease.
Lord Jesus I pray, I pray to you today
Lift up our spirits and help us find a way.
