How Much Longer God ~

Sometimes the reality,
of a world gone haywire
takes away all my joy
in the hairs of its crossfire.

For with all the evil I see,
and all the horror I hear
all I can do is ask . . .
why Jesus, aren’t You here?

Sometimes the truth,
of a world gone amok
takes away my peace
leaving me awestruck.

For with all the tragedy,
the death and the disasters
I can’t help but to wonder . . .
why Lord, can’t You come faster?

Sometimes the horror,
of a world gone roughshod
I can’t help but to ask . . .
how much longer, oh my God!

Psalm 10:1

Why standest thou afar off,
O Lord?
why hidest thou thyself
in times of trouble?
