Analysis of Turning Away From God
If someone writes a song
or shout about God,
people get mad and scorn.
Is the world turning away from God?
If someone reads the Bible or say
thus say the Lord, people say you are
breaking the law.
Is the world turning away from God?
But if someone brings a gun and shoved
it in your face and you say, let's pray.
and the person with the gun runs away.
They will say I'm glad you found God.
