OUR WORLD TODAY
Our world today is in distress,
Decisions hang on "no" or "yes".
Soule men are wilfull, some confess
They're in the wrong,
That is the better way, 1 guess,
To get along,,
It's hard to find a peaceful spot,
We should be happy but we're not.
In mansion or in humble cot,
'Tis much the same
For gain some Dien a cruel plot
And Pout their name.
Turn on the radio, hear the din,
Read all about the sale of gin,
We'.re living in a world or sin,
But that's not news:
Churches are calling, "Colne, come in
.And fin the pews."
The Judge of all has quite a Job,
He sees Men kill, He sees men rob,
He hears each sigh, He knows the
throb
Of every heart,
He's disappointed with the mob,
Make a now start.
There is, we know, a better Plan,
We have it from the Son of Man,
He sends us gifts, IIe says we can
Win in the end,
We dare not be an "also ran"
And fail our. Friend.
