Time to Pray

April 5, 2020

We work, we strive, we set a goal,
But life is not in our control.

No way to change our circumstance,
Did this all happen just by chance?

We’ve questioned if there is a God.
We want someone who spares the rod,

Prefer instead to have our say.
We think we know the better way.

We’ve said to God, “Get out of schools.
We’re grown up now, we make the rules.”

In arrogance we’ve turned our backs,
Denied He’s there or launched attacks.

I pray it’s not too late to turn;
Acknowledge Him, we’ve much to learn.

The world is upside down today.
It’s time to lift our voice and pray.
