Such Troubling Times

Such troubling times we live in now

Because to Christ much do not bow

But bow to men, they surely do

And to their idols stick like glue

They masquerade of righteousness

But to their sins they not address

They walk in sin, and not by faith,

Because their sins they not abate

They will not obey God’s commands

For on their flesh they now depend

And worldly living is their thing

Their idols to Christ will not bring

Their stubbornness and selfish pride

It takes them now on a joy ride

To live for pleasure of this world

And sacrifice to them absurd

May not be wild, unruly be

But truth of Scriptures they not see

So in the lies they now believe

And listen to those who deceive

Submit not then to God’s pure rule

But to their idols up they curl

And entertain from dusk to dawn

The righteousness of God not spawn

So God is speaking, speaking clear

That to your idols NOT be near

But fellowship with Jesus Christ

And take not His grace for a heist

Obey your Lord, do what He says

Forsake your sins in righteousness

Believe His word, live now for Him

And do no longer walk in sin
