What have we done

Brian Bevels 1977 (Centre al)



People need to take heed
To the things that are going on.
Our Jesus is soon returning
And I believe it won't be long.

Every way you turn
You see death and destruction.
And life could be so much better
If we would just follow God's instructions.

He gave us the rule book
And told us of his plan.
How we should live our life by his
And to love our fellow man.

To often we get caught up
In the unrighteousness of this nation.
And I believe the Lord just drops his head
And says what are you doing to my creation.

Jesus is coming back
For a body tried and true.
Now ask yourself this question
Will be be coming back for you ?
