Today, the values in this world
Are not a pretty sight
A life of fame and worldly gain
Has led us from the light.
Today, our lives are compromised
By greediness and wealth
The Bible has been hid away
Upon a dusty shelf.
Today, the thoughts that fill our
minds
Are shallow without God
The trails that wander through the
soul
Are paths, we shouldnt trod.
Today, I took a look around
I gazed into the sky
The grandeur of this universe
The fact we all shall die.
Today, I viewed God's handiwork
And somehow felt quite small
The moon, the stars, a grain of sand
The mystery of it all.
Today, I came to realize
The things that meant so much
Are really of no value now
Without the Master's touch.
