THY KINGDOM COME <\/p>\n

04-12-2014<\/p>\n

In this world we are ripped by bears,
\nLions tear at us and yet nobody cares.
\nFend for yourself is the rule of life,
\nTraitorous friends stab with the knife.<\/p>\n

Love has grown cold as even Jesus said,
\nWatch your back or you may end up dead.
\nIt is a wicked world, there is no doubt,
\nCan you truly blame me for wanting out?<\/p>\n

Lovers of themselves the Apostle wrote,
\nWill society end on such a tragic note?
\nGod will tear it all down, I’m very sure,
\nThat is what His Kingdom is for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
