Why has our time on earth to end? br What is this life about? br Why must man’s knee to Heaven bend? br Why are we filled with doubt? br br Why has all life on earth to die? br Why is God’s curse abroad? br Why does our flesh make war on high? br Wielding its wilful sword br br The fruit we bear from lying lips br Dark deeds endorsed to shame br Such shadows from a mind eclipse br Blaspheme The Father’s name br br The flesh despises Heaven’s rule br Hating the voice within br In Satan’s arms it plays the fool br And dies the death of sin br br Yet deep inside the truth is known br We hear God’s guiding voice br We fail to recognise His throne br Or make His way our choice br br We disobey each royal command br Though power’s in His word! br Though life and death is in God’s hand br We live our lives absurd br br The world believes the devil’s lies br That hell is here on earth br Looking at life though lustful eyes br She gives to darkness birth br br But when love comes with light’s true dawn br When Jesus Christ draws near br When flesh to God becomes reborn br Darkness will disappearbr br Michael P.
