It's no secret that our culture Is corrupted from within When God was banned from every school The devil marched right in Violence, gangs, abuse and drugs Respect in sharp decline Once evil had a foothold... The other sins just fell in line Authority figures are a joke When children make the rules Is there anyone left with any doubt Who really runs our schools? Shootings on the nation's playgrounds Armed policemen in the halls... Metal detectors at every door Teachers raped in bathroom stalls? Americans watch the nightly news Each evening at six o'clock For another dose of daily horror They absorb in a state of shock How can we, as a nation Appear so damn perplexed? When right before our very eyes A generation dies of neglect? All these problems with our youth That were unheard of once before Did not start until the instant We pushed God out & slammed the door! So instead of constant worry About each student's civil rights? Let's do battle for their souls No matter who we have to fight! Argue with politicians Let's be sure our voice is heard As we show our children & the world That we'll stand up for His Word... Jesus stood for all of us On that Friday long ago To save those who believed in Him So if you're grateful..... let it show! Take the love He offers now Let it shine for all to see Tell others that the way it's been Is not how it should be! So don't let Satan go unchallenged That's one defeat we can't afford Let's protect & teach our children That Christ IS the Risen Lord!! Dusty Richardson c 2001 |
