How many times must we look to the cross
Before we can really see
And how much pain and life must be lost
Before we will bend the knee
The answer my friends,
Is written in His Word,
The answer is written in His Word.
How many kids must fall to the knife,
Slain on the altar of lust,
How long must they scream, poor kids for a life
Before we’ll abort and trust
While our children die without hope,
And how many barons will catch in their snare,
Our kids with their evil dope.
How many people must watch with alarm
While bombs and terror reign
How much blood in the name of Islam,
Before we’ll reject their pain.
How long must we stand and watch evil gain
While ‘Potter’ and Satan rule
Our children taught again and again
That evil really is cool.
How long must we listen to lies and deceit,
To words that are full of spin
How much can we take that is harmful and false
While we fall into hell in our sin
How many times must we look to the cross
Before we can see really see
That Jesus in love he took all our loss
From sin and it’s pain to free.
The answer, my friends,
Is written in his word,
The answer is written in his word.
