Such Troubling Times

[Sue J Love]

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
