Saving Grace - Habakkuk

In a world of increasing international crises
And internal corruption
Nation rises against nation around the world
And sin abounds at home
World powers aim an ever-increasing array
Of complex
Nuclear weapons
At each other while they speak of peace

The world at war seems incredibly imminent
While the stage is set for a global holocaust
An unsuspecting home audience
Ignorantly sings a blissful tune

The world's moral fiber is being eaten away
By a playboy philosophy
That makes personal pleasure
The supreme rule of life
Hedonism catches fire while homes crumble
Crime soars while the church grows sour
Drugs, divorce, and debauchery prevail
And decency dies

Frivolity dances in the streets
Faith is buried
"In God we trust" has become a meaningless slogan
Stamped on corroding coins

(In this world of crisis and chaos, the Prophet Habakkuk speaks with clarity. Heed his admonition. Heed his warning.)

Take heart for through intercession
Worry transforms to worship, fear turns to faith
Terror becomes trust
Doubts resolved with hope
And anguish melts into adoration
Then the heart can rest in the surety that Christ is King
(And patiently await His return)

Come Lord Jesus
Emanuel (Emanuel)
Come Lord Jesus
Bring Your Glory
Come Lord Jesus
Emanuel (Emanuel)
Come Lord Jesus
Bring Your Justice
