Only One Way
I turned on the TV to watch a show.
It was the same old shoot em up and rodeo.
Another hurricane, another tornado.
Maybe I should listen to the radio.
Everywhere the horrible news kept pouring in.
This is a terrible place drowning in sin.
I want a better life for you and me.
We must escape so we can be free.
But, there is very little we can do.
Because you can never run away from you.
To do that you need a new heart.
Be born again with a new start.
There is only one known way it can be done.
Surrender yourself to the heavenly One.
Everything then will fall into place.
It won’t get rid of the violence and hate.
But, it will give you all you need.
So you can make it through feeling freed.
You will give it all to Him.
He will carry you then.
You will know you’re future is assured.
You’re going home. He gave you His word.
