Things Just Ain't Right

A Lenten Meditation

Mothers are encouraged
to kill their unborn young;
The dirt of gossip and slander
are on every tongue;
The hearts of many people
are turned so far away,
From the God of Heaven in this evil day.

The leaders of this world
seem to have only evil on their mind .
There is a real problem for the race of mankind.

But wait, look up at yonder star,
rising over the horizon far.
The star takes form
as it draws ever near
With the glory of the Master, oh, so very dear.

Now see His radiant eyes,
that burn like flaming fire,
And hear His echoing voice,
that thunders loud and clear.
His garments have been dipped
in His own precious blood;
He alone has come to save us
from the rising flood
Of evil blackened waters in this world of sin
Because of all the evil found in the hearts of men.

Jesus the Master came,
and He has made the way
To God our loving Father,
to make this a new day.
He came to us to save us
from the judgement of God's wrath.
The light of His beckoning love
will shine out on the path
That leads us home to a glory
and that's not too far above
So we can stand forever
in the Glory of Father's love.
