Why All The Trouble?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

O world, O world, why all the trouble,
Running to and fro for answers in vain?
Why set up solutions to make more problems
And destroy yourself piece by piece?

You spend billions and years to fight nasty AIDS,
And teach "safe sex" to the innocent young:
When God's Word says firm and clear:
"Thou shalt not commit adultery."
Teach husbands and wives to be faithful to each other,
Teach the young ones to keep clean for their future spouses.
So, why, O why, shake your fist against God,
When His way is clearly the best?

You hold meetings and debates to stop wars,
And beg and plead for an end to all nukes:
When God's Word stands strong and says:
"Thou shalt do no murder."
Teach people to love their neighbors as themselves,
Lay no hands of wrath and be slow to anger.
So, why, O why, turn away from the Lord,
When His counsel is the sweetest?

You give food, clothes and money freely to the poor,
Yet still ponder why poverty still stays:
When God's Word proclaims truthfully:
"Thou shalt not covet."
Teach the able beggar to take up his hoe and work,
Teach the rich to help they who cannot labor.
So, why, O why, shut your ears at God's Word,
When by His Word we all live?

You run and prance day and night to look for peace,
Looking for a mighty one to reign over you:
When the Word of the Lord tells us truly:
Christ the Saviour is King?
Arise, and turn from your dead filthy works,
And look solely upon the risen Lamb of God.
Reject not He who died for your sins,
For He shall return in victory one day!
