The reason for God


Since when did "yolo" and "swag" replace daily devotions to God

and how did saying yes to drugs become so esay, with just a head nod

How did the bible get replaced with instagram and facebook

The world is falling apart just stop and take a look

School shootings are on the rise and I know who to blame

Administration, the school system because God forbid I pledge my country and speak Jesus name

We've become obsessed with selfies and how many likes we can get on a post

But God's love and forgiveness should be what matters most

I know Jesus, the one in whom I can confide

but will you chose him? It's time for you to decide

Will you put down your phone and pick up a bible insead?

The word of God is just waiting to be read.
