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 investing in,

Is your direction.
