I've cried to God as I've beheld
the world wrapped up in fear,
of lack and death and war
that looms to snatch lives held so dear.
I said, "My God' Have you not heard
The newsmen on TV?

Do you not know the shape we're in?
Do you not care for me?"
"I'm scared, Dear Jesus'
Help us, please!
There's news of fear and war
and I'm afraid Lord' I admit!
Of what might be in store?"

"Peace be still My' child" He said
"And hear now what I say,
for I have seen and heard the cries
of those who to Me' pray.
Keep your eyes upon ME' now,
not what you hear or see as you do,
you'll keep My' peace,
if your mind stays on ME."

"It matters not what
one man says or even many more,
for I am God' and I decide
each day what lies in store."
"I've told you there
would be such times when,
of these things, you'd hear.

I told you so you'd be prepared
and full of peace, not fear."
"For all these things must be fulfilled,
yet My' word fails not.
For I am still your hiding place
as all the fires rage hot."
"You're hidden beneath
My' shadow now,
and you can rest in me.

Yes you can trust My' words
of love to last eternally."
"For I'm your Father' Counselor, and Friend.
Your Alpha and your End.
If this was the world's last day,
be sure for you I'd send."
"I've promised I'd save you a place,
If you would stay in Me'.

Stay pure and faithful, eyes on Me'
and victory you'll see."
"I can't tell you if it's 'the end'
no human man can know,
but I can tell you, it is close,
so be prepared to go."

"Each day I give you,
reach in love to save another soul,
for snatching them from Me'
for hell is truly Satan's goal."
"Occupy until I come,
live each day full in Me'
Just keep your eyes upon
My' face and know that I do see."

"I see the world, I see your life,
and I do care for you.
Know that, no matter what occurs,
My' love for you stands true."
"I'm Alpha and Omega,
I'm King and Lord of ALL...
I'll be right near to care for you as,
on My name, you call."

"For I can change the hearts of kings,
and I their hearts, do try.
I'm the one who formed this world,
and says when it shall die."
"So, use this time to seek the lost,
and tell them of My' Love.
That they too, may be saved
and live with Me' again, above."

"Don't listen to fear's voice, hear Mine'
then stand on what you've heard.
Don't fear yours or the world's fate,
it's destined by My' word."
"Keep your eyes on Me' my child,
and let Me' wipe each tear,
for I am God' and in control...
So live in peace, not fear."
