The World Is Anxious
 
Psalm 55:22 (ESV) Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
 
The world is anxious, and rightfully so!
Its fate is coming – blow by blow.
Tactics aimed to take God’s children down
draw forth the power of our Savior’s crown.
Look! Look! Tell me what you see.
Wars; murders; systemic hate; disfunctions, and agony.
The god of the earth is stone-raging mad
in his quest to make our Lord look bad.
But we – dear children of the Most High God -
are not to be anxious or act in distraught.
The daily news mounts with horrid sins.
Everything sounds fearfully grim.
But our hearing is filtered through the Word of our God,
And our faith keeps our thoughts on the things above
that are soon to come when the time is right -
to bring an end to this anxious plight -
Of a world that refuses to bow to our King.
Praise God for Jesus! Our Savior reigns!
So cast your burdens – boys and girls!
Do not conform to this anxious world!
Live in Jesus day by day! He’ll see us through - all the way.
