God is in control
Though it mightn’t look so,
The assertion may be puzzling
But by faith we know.
I choose to believe this
Come whatever may,
God is in absolute control
Each and every day.
That it is getting worse
Is the opinion of many
But never mind how it looks,
God is the Almighty.
The Omniscient One
The only wise God,
He that sees all and knows all
Here and abroad.
Take note of the order
That exists in all of space
And how each heavenly body
Is held in its place.
By God’s word
They all were created
And by God’s word alone
They are supported.
The winds and the waves
Obeyed the Christ
Having no mind of their own
For good or vice.
Unlike human kind
That was given a choice,
Man could obey his Creator
Or ignore His voice.
Like back in Eden
You would no doubt recall
When Adam and Eve
Both did fall.
Deceived by a serpent
The agent of Satan,
Eve felled for his treachery
Followed by Adam.
God was in control
When all this occurred
And He is in no less control
In the Present world.
Men do as they please;
They have lost control
Especially our world leaders.
They’re on a roll.
God is not responsible
For our present raw deal,
It is the leaders that we trust
To whom we must appeal.
Appeal to their conscience;
At least, what of it is left
Seeing in the wake of their insanity,
There is suffering and death.
Israel and Palestine
Russia and the Ukraine,
Guyana and Venezuela
They are all insane!
Yet God is in control,
It is mankind that is not
And it is not difficult to see
Given all the rot.
However, be assured
Man will answer to God
Not only in the life here and now
But in that final call.
God's still in control
Dare to believe with me,
A time of reckoning will come
For everybody.
