As wars break out, hurt innocent,
through torture, hate and lie.
To see these deaths, it saddens me -
and words are hard to come by....
When schools teach our children
that God we can deny -
with morals low, it saddens me -
and words are hard to come by....
When churches want to compromise,
compassioned speech supply -
When truth is dead, it saddens me -
and words are hard to come by....
When parents through their anger
will see their children cry.
This child abuse so saddens me -
and words are hard to come by....
When judges, with our documents,
our wants, through law imply -
abortion deaths, they sadden me -
and words are hard to come by....
Oh, sin on earth grows daily -
hate escalates so high.
When sinful actions sadden me -
the words are hard to come by....
Point your finger, pass the buck.
Actions speak - so hear them cry.
Their louder voices sadden me,
and words are hard to come by....
So if you must - accuse me quick -
if truth refuse to buy.
Oh, will we learn on judgment day -
that words are hard to come by...?
