"Where Jesus Walks"
I read the news again today
Snapshots of a world gone astray
Lost and lonely pleas for sanity
Overstuffed political vanity
Gruesome images
And terrible words
Insane retribution
Completely absurd
It's all too much, too overbearing
Has humanity lost the need for caring?
I seem to have read the same news before
Calamitous carnage, seared through the core
Will Jesus be welcome when he returns?
Will he witness strife as mankind burns?
Peace be with my savior
As I offer my hand
For I don't have any answers
But I've got to make a stand
Where Jesus Walks we must be aware
We must have a heart, and we must truly care
Where Jesus Walks is a world torn apart
A world needing hope,
A world shaking new start.
I read the news again today
Where Jesus Walks the lambs and lions play
