to GOD be the GLORY
~ The Things I Have Seen ~
By Deborah Ann
I have seen morality fade,
the withering of man’s ethics
I have seen people lives canceled
by the pundits and skeptics.
I have seen a government,
become by greed corrupt
I have seen the rage of hate
on city streets erupt.
I have seen earthy riches,
turn cold the heart of man
I have seen lawlessness
disperse across the land.
I have seen the propaganda,
the promoting of hypocrisy
I have seen the erosion
of freedom and democracy.
I have seen the falling away,
of those who once believed
I have seen how the children
by education are deceived.
I have seen the fruit plummet,
far from the True Vine
I have seen the Gospel truth
become dull and benign.
But what I have yet to see,
are all the things eternal
and I know till Jesus come
all I see now is temporal!
~~~~~~
While we look not at
the things which are seen,
but at the things which are
not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not
seen are eternal.
