Chaos seems to reign
Life nothing but pain
Existence without meaning
Happiness always fleeting
No hope or point at all
Eat and drink today, then wait for death to call.
__________
Order created by gift
A universe He did upliftÂ
Made man in His image and likeness
So that all might return to His highnessÂ
Reason and intellect instilled

__________
Pride, anger, lust and envy
All the evil deep within me
Demons call with tempting lies:
"He doesn't love you, why even try?"
"Don't let Him rule you with an iron rod
Give into your passions; be your own god."

Came the Son born to hang on a tree
To repair the rupture caused by sin
Reconciling the Father to all men
Gave His body and blood to pay an infinite debt
The victory is won; the table set.
__________
Still the darkness remains deep within our hearts
Since the Garden of Eden, the devil plays his part
A sickness in the soul; gains met with loss
Symptoms always worsen when eyes are off the Cross
The cares of this world blot out the rays of light
Many turn their backs; lose the will to fight.
__________
So "come to me" He says, "and I will give you rest"
"Pick up your cross and follow me towards that rocky crest"
"I cannot promise you leisure, or a life absent pain"
"But the suffering I endured merits your eternal gain"
"Have no fear my child, I'm present here and now"
"Upon the altar; a tiny Host; My love cannot be bound."
God love you.
