Oh Lord, for so many –

How bereft of joy and beauty childhood has become
Born into pain or the innocent slain as the evil hungers on
The children swoon in the streets of the city
While the land of the free and the land of the brave takes no pity
Childhood is a time meant to know what it is to be loved
But for some children today it’s become a time to be pushed and shoved
And sold at the gates of Hell
Sacrificed on the altars of Molech and Baal

Oh God, please save our children
Suffer them to come unto me
When so many are hurt, abused and slain,
Let our church be a place of safety
May our church be a true sanctuary
Lord, may You know that You have a stronghold
Of spiritual cleanliness and purity
Let the parents and adults clearly see
How the children are seduced under our very scrutiny
Darkness given place in our children’s lives
And where there is darkness, unclean spirits hide
But oh My God, so many of us are blind
And In our pride, we strive to hide
The fullness of the Truth from our children’s minds
And our children suffer and our children die
Teach us the difference between the Holy and the profane
Lord when we stray from Your boundaries, let us feel Your pain
And no price or sacrifice is greater than the one You gave
So can’t we pay and give today so Your gift won’t be in vain?
Can’t we take seriously the war on our children for whom You did bleed?
Can’t we be sober and vigilant
And guard our children from every thought and intent
Satan has to kill, steal and destroy their lives?
Aren’t we responsible Lord, to be wise? To guard them with drawn sword?
Your Holy Word?
