Time to Choose

The world we live in is a battle, a game
The love it once was is nothing but shame
We live and we work yet when do we pray?
We pray for our wants, all we know now is greed
We want this, we want that, not much can we say
But a world now bitter, lost in the weeds
We walk, we run, we ignore our heart
Driven by pride our connections apart
The love that we are, the love by which we should stand
Is the furthest from action, the furthest from real
That which we see but a slight of the hand
Augmented by hate, our lives now surreal
Lost in the shuffle of world pride
We move forth without action, we stand for a side
The love we once had has a fallen asleep
Lost in the shuffle of ego and self
The world now a blur and with confusion we weep  
The faith we have boxed remains on the shelf
Take it we must for this not a game
Unwrapping our faith and life not the same

Open it must for the world is in pain
Like this we cannot remain
We fight, we feud, we put down our friend
The words of the heart, scrambled by the mind
Confused we wander, we look to the end
Where once there was love, once we were kind
Replace by cynicism of every type perpetrated by hate
We question the truth yet fear it too late
Never a time we can't turn to our God
Bow down in prayer and call out His name
Unconditionally He loves and we think this odd
For though we claim love we love not the same
Conditions withstanding, conditions on love
That's how we act yet it come not from above
Our God He gives love, it's free and it's true
Stop in this moment be filled and be peace
For His love this world anew
To love is to give, to give is to release
Love upon the world which knows nothing but pain
And our choice to love or remain

Purposed to love we must make a choice
To remain silent or lift up our voice
So that all may hear of this truth which we speak
The truth of God's love, the promises He keeps
The love He shares with the humble and meek
Boast not or be prideful and weep
Remember our actions are but our own choice
Give to life love, give love a voice
What we do for the least, we do so for Him
Set aside of that which we boast
Faith our truth, it's not out on a limb
Faith our gift we need the most
Yet to live our our faith, a choice
A choice we must now voice

Chosen we are to spread His Word
Yet it is clear, this world is absurd
We boast and we cheer at the hurt we all know
We look away and turn our heads, pretend not to see
The apathetic message the world wants us to sow
We keep a blind eye, we pretend not be
A light for others, our actions His Word
In loving action, this world becomes less absurd
For connected by love the world set on fire
Ablaze with the truth, ablaze in love
God is our God of whom we admire
Therefore we must live as He asks from above
Our actions from His Word
We make our world les absurd

Love He has given, love He shares
His love it heals, it shows how much He cares
So let us walk in the love He has given
It is our connection to reality, our connection to our home
Jesus gave His life and now He is risen
Let us rise in love that we may no longer roam
Faith marks our life, it is time now we share
Such this faith and show just how much we care

Care we must for this is to love
This is to know we are sent from above
Mistakes we will make
At times we will fall
Yet with our heart we shall love and no longer fake
The hauntings of the mind and answer the call
For loudly it speaks, speaks of such love
That has been offered by our God above

The world we live in is a battle, a game
The love it once was is nothing but shame
Love upon the world which knows nothing but pain
And our choice to love or remain
Purposed to love we must make a choice
To remain silent or lift up our voice
A light for others, our actions His Word
In loving action, this world becomes less absurd
Faith marks our life, it is time now we share
Such this faith and show that we care
For loudly it speaks, speaks of such love
That has been offered by our God above

Should we remain in this game we call life
Or should we bring into action the words of the heart
Be the voice of this world or the voice of our God 
Look to the left, look to the right...it is time we choose love
