Forevermore

I hear them say the words we read don't really mean quite what they say

I hear them pray as if they don't expect an answer anyway

I hear them say that God could not have made the world in 7 days

I hear them justify themselves by saying "loving doesn't pay."

I see them endlessly continuing their selfish, rotten game

I see them point their crooked finger and yet never take the blame

Why do they have to keep on killing, fighting, hurting, in His name?

I cannot see how they'll escape from everlasting grief, contempt and shame

Why do they have to keep on taking His most holy name in vain?

Why won't they ever make attempts to put an end to all this pain?

Why are they lying to themselves and to each other for mere gain?

Why can't we be content with what we have, but murmur and complain?

How can we say that we know better if our works don't show the same?

Now is the day to break the fetters, strengthen the things that will remain

"Thou shalt not kill" was hewn in letters that we'd better read again

How can we hope He'll come & get us before tribulation reigns?

I cannot see, I cannot hear, I cannot speak, I'm powerless

I only feel and mourn and pray and await that ancient, promised bliss

When He that was to come will come again and restore righteousness

And every nation on this earth will once again call itself blessed

Then will that mountain fill the earth, nothing will hurt kill or destroy

New life will be born from the ashes, sorrow will turn into joy

His name and truth will then be known by each man, woman, girl and boy

No longer will the tempter and his legions pester and annoy

I don't know when or how but I know one thing is for sure

That day will come when all the nations will be cured

The project "man" will be renewed, revamped and totally restored

The rightful Heir and true King, Jesus Christ will reign forevermore

Jesus Christ will reign forevermore

Jesus Christ will reign forevermore

Jesus Christ will reign forevermore
