God, Will You Help Us?

By Kim Ellison

The day has darkened

With a cloud of despair.

The shadow of death

Lingers everywhere.

God, will you help us?

The soul of a nation

Ever-changing life.

People drowning

In tension and strife.

God, will you help us?

Lies and deception

Carry many astray.

Sorrow, oppression

Increase day by day.

God, will you help us?

The nations rise up

With a shout of war.

Fear, destruction

Famine and gore.

God, will you help us?

The love of many

Growing cold.

For a moment of pleasure

Souls are sold.

God, will you help us?

The unborn baby

Cries for life from the womb,

But in mother’s heart

There is no room.

God, will you help us?

Humanity’s spirit

becoming faint and weak.

Foundations are cracking.

The future looks bleak.

God, will you help us?

Draw close to Me

As the day draws near.

Trust in Jesus

You need not fear.

Yes Child, I will help you.
