This world’s become the devil’s whore <br />With offspring of despair <br />Deceived they close to Light their door <br />And have from truth no share <br /> <br />But Jesus has a word to say <br />With power yet unknown <br />With love to show His flock The Way <br />And soften hearts of stone <br /> <br />The war is on the choice is free <br />Whichever side we’ll fight <br />To whom we choose to bend our knee <br />Darkness or radiant Light <br /> <br />Satan would have some mouths be still <br />Some ears no longer hear <br />He sends his children out to kill <br />And trouble hearts with fear <br /> <br />There is no ploy he wouldn’t use <br />No tactic too obscene <br />No holy law he’d not abuse <br />To capture Jesus’ queen <br /> <br />On gross deceit his army thrives <br />With lies they’ll forge their way <br />With doubt and hate their wicked knives <br />They’ll try to win the day <br /> <br />Casualties bearing evil stains <br />Victims festooned with dross <br />Prisoners, bound with selfish chains <br />Cry out beneath The Cross <br /> <br />Will Heaven turn a blinded eye? <br />Will Jesus turn His face? <br />Was not for these Christ chose to die? <br />And save their souls through grace<br /><br />Michael P.
