I need to talk to you God
I know you are watching
With tears in your eyes
As this beautiful earth splits from the skies
The news is not good
Your people are lost
Fighting, poverty and greed
At what price and what cost
Oh Lord I know you are waiting
For all eyes to fall upon you
Other than praying Lord
What can I do
How can I help
Those who do not see
That it is you we should follow
And not that of greed
I hear of shootings
And terrible crashes
Innocent children
And parents bashing
Women being beaten
And children being whipped
Men losing their pride
As jobs are being ripped
Oh Lord I can see what
Is happening today
But I am one voice
And I no longer know what to say.

Who I am 
All things work together for good,
For them that love The Lord,
And are called according to His purpose.
How can any of this
Not be of His plan?
And who are we
To judge the motives
Of a God
Omnipotent?

I am not judging, but with the government shut down I see so many helpless to do anything but wait

It is the through redemption of the broken,
The salvation of the damned,
And the hope of the broken
That glory is manifest.
Man was ransomed from death,
Blood paid on the debt
Of the wicked.
Now we have been sanctified.
If we were bought,
Dirty and broken,
And now sanctified through blood,
Will we not be cared for?
Does the bird in the tree
It the fish in the river
Worry for the meal of the morrow?
We should boast of our misery,
For through it,
Christ is glorified
All the more.

One voice for many my friend. And sometimes there just aren’t any words that can be said better than silence.

you may have a very valid point my friend. I always feel like my voice is very small compared to this big world
