Be the change


Slipping away is this world. Life was not made just to be sold. This world is full of hypocrites, And they are not welcoming your love. This world treats you like a criminal, But don't they know We serve a God that's perfect? This world should be more Worried about your protection, Than their reflection, Because don't they know You made them beautiful? You've given us everything And we don't give you anything. Your love is unconditional But ours is limited. When will we know The meaning of your word, And not just every swear word? You gave us freedom, Which we've abused. And every time we fail, You're the one we accuse. Love has turned to lust, And your definition of marriage Has been erased. What will it profit us to gain the world And lose our souls? Why is this world counting On birth control? Don't they know that Every baby is a blessing? Saturday we're undressing And Sunday we're confessing. Why has texting turned to sexting? Pleasure has been made an obsession. The only thing we should be invested in, Is your direction.
