Signs of the Times
Each time we turn on the evening news
Our stress levels begin to rise
Images from a world gone mad, abuse
Our sensibilities and assault our eyes
And yet, as in the days of Noah,
People just running to fro
As punch drunk as Rocky Balboa
Trying to shake off another blow
If the signs of the times were neon lights
Perhaps then it would get our attention
Our revelation reduced to sound bites
Labeled "Time for an intervention"
Well, we've got wars and rumors of wars
And those earthquakes in driver's places
The devil roars and the world ignores
The signs of the times flashed in our faces
It's not as if we can change the channel
And just pop a few more tranquilizers
Then leave it up to the professionals
Or the community organizers
Yet some gospel of prosperity
Is what seems to be filling the pews
And so many of us just refuse to see
The revelation on the evening news
Can we be so blind that we cannot see
That the handwriting's on the wall
And what's at hand is prophecy?
"Let those who stand take heed lest that fall."
There will be weeping and gashing of teeth
On a day when it's least expected
For those who chose the path of disbelief
And the word of truth was rejected
I know I'd be much more popular
If I said things people wanted to hear
If I chose to have a seminar
With words catered to the itching ear
But it's not me that's being rejected
It's all plainly written there in the Book
The Word of God is being neglected
Perhaps it's time we all took a look.
