This is a street in the old part of the city of Jerusalem.
Jesus may have walked this very street?
A DRIFTING WORLD
Lord, it seems the world
Is drifting far from you.
It seems that worldly pleasures
Are the things they hold to view.
Instead of "love thy neighbor,"
They seem to scorn and shame
And their very speech...
Defiles Your Holy Name.
They ridicule Your servants,
They say that we have to be,
The dumbest kind of people
To follow after Thee.
They taunt and chant...
"We know that God is dead!
If not so... Jesus would return
Just like He said!"
But for us Christians...
We know why You delay Your return.
You wish that no one perish,
For all You have concern.
We know the devil is active
In the hearts of men
And things are much the same now
As they were back when...
Jesus walked the streets of Jerusalem
And the shores of Galilee.
And said to the fisherman
"Come follow Me!"
The world has done some changing
In the more then two thousand years.
There has been a lot of wars,
A lot of heartaches and tears.
The thing that has not changed
The one thing that remains the same
Is Your love for Your followers
Those that wear Your name!
