However, We Must Be "Born Again!"
However, We Must Be "Born Again!"
by Rev. Dr. Fred M. Lassonde
Everywhere I look I see even people of the Book
allowing this World to bring them despair
To drag them down as our own world is shook
by the high cost of living becoming a nightmare
Take your eyes off politicians and turn to God
no hope in men for they will only trod
on all of us, as they are power mad and greedy
Worldly powerful men seek to control the needy
If you allow them they will steal your hope
In their arrogance they believe your a dope
Please turn to Jesus while there is yet time
for it is how we are with God that makes us sublime
Turn your eyes Heaven-ward and be God's children
His promises are wonderful and He will keep you then
Our hope is not in this World or is it in men
However, we must be "Born Again!"
