Bated breath and tired eyes,
a heavy earth whose tears won't dry.
Laden with sorrows and weary with sin,
a planet diving into tailspin.
Oceans of plastic, land of hate,
fishing for self interest,
using each other as bait.
A world in turmoil and unmasked hurt,
no bandaid given, just rub your wound in the dirt.
Earthly leaders failing their jobs,
ignoring the wailing and broken sobs.
The earth itself groaning,
preparing for worse.
The people are moaning,
and uttering a curse.
A spiral downward, attached to a chain,
the forces of darkness preparing a harvest of grain.
A flow of tears falling as rain,
a knife, as it were, slicing a vein.
But throughout the night,
of darkness and cold,
a twinkle of light,
worth much more than gold.
A plan for our saving,
a storm that's worth braving.
A King who will guide,
and causes darkness to hide.
As one we will sing,
for He tucks us under His wing.
Joy springs bursts forth in a stream and a flood,
washed clean in the river of Christ's precious blood.
So while the earth may be burning, hanging on by a string,
to God shall we hold, fasten and cling.
A promise and assurance of a world yet to come,
where all will be peace, and none will be numb.
