WHAT HAS TO BE

These days life is too serious
over all there hangs dark clouds,
you’d think all life soon would be wearing
death’s dark and musty shroud.

It’s true the news fills us with saddness
as in countries far away,
our loved ones fight for freedom
and with their lives they pay.

Our nations future leaders
doctors, lawyers, men of God,
give their lives for the homeland
as in foreign lands they trod.

Some speak of the end to come
and shiver in there shoes,
their fear keeps them from growing
they’re frozen in their pews.

It’s not the time for giving up
there’s no reason for our fear,
for Jesus tells us in the Bible
He makes it very clear.

“Nation will rise against nation
on our heads calamities will fall,
don’t panic it’s not yet the end
His mercy still reigns over all”.

When we’re brought before those in power
fear not for what you will say,
for the Spirit will speak from your being
they’ll be astounded at your wisdom that day.

The reward for your faithfulness, glory
your stand for the Lord one of love,
you’ll enjoy His presence so Holy
as you enter His heart up above.
