Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus

Come Lord Jesus

This world is crying

dying

lying down with the devil

standing up against what is right.

Cursing and worse

Spitting and screaming at the face of God.

He is an outcast of society again.

It has moved to higher philosophy

where man has become god

and we have already seen where

that has taken us.

And yet they still persist

in their persistent endeavor

to prove themselves right

and God wrong.

And the songs sung

will condemn this generation 

in future days.

There may not be many more

generations or days.

We are dazed by the corruption

by the incessant clamor

of the tiny screen

you hold in your hand

nursing your treasure.

What will you do without it?

Do you know what to do,

what to say,

do you need to see yourself in

the dark reflection to know.

Know yourself

Know others

Know God

Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus.

As I see the present state of the world, I find myself praying more often "Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus."
