A Busy World

JL, Silver Springs, NV

THE WORLD IS VERY BUSY

The world is very busy, men are traveling to and fro.

Their souls are very restless - they are always on the go.

There's a spirit of oppression, depression and despair

Hovering above them - here there and everywhere.

Tho knowledge is increasing, there is much less sense;

For wisdom is the lacking, and intelligence.

How heavy is the feeling that these are man's last days,

And heavy is the spirit, filling hearts with dismay.

But cheer-up friend and listen.  You need not fear this doom.

There is a new world coming, and it will be here soon.

A world of joy and laughter, of love and peace and rest,

And eternal living, safe within God's best.

There'll be no night or shadows, anxieties or fears,

Hearts will not be troubled, nor eyes filled with tears.

Our homes will all be mansions, Heaven's glory we will gain.

Built, prepared and readied, by the Lamb for sinners slain.

A life of grace and glory.  A new life without end.

Are waiting there before you,

Won't you walk with me my friend?

We are waiting at the cross-roads,

There are two roads in sight.

One will lead to heaven,

The other to endless night.

Narrow is the right road,

Christ paved to heaven's gain;

But wide and short the wrong road,

That leads to hell's domain.
