The Pain That Plagues
Why can’t we ever be free
Of the pain that plagues our souls?
We dream our dreams that we never get to see
While we watch them be shot full of holes.
To Hell and back our journeys go,
And we fight it day after day.
If we find help, we never know
How long that help will stay.
Children go hungry from morning till night.
More and more people forlorn.
The hearts of men cringe at each horrid sight,
And the aged sit home and mourn.
War, more war, and rumors of war
Echo in everyone’s ear.
The youth don’t know what to live for
For this life they are taught to fear.
Men who murder for their own selfish gain,
But no punishment do they ever meet.
The world around us is going insane.
Where is the victory when we see only defeat?

A long time ago in a land far away,
Jesus foresaw what we are seeing today.
He took on the pains that give misery
The moment he died on Mount Calvary.
He knows the path our journey takes us through,
For Jesus has been on that path, too.
The pain that plagues the world today
Is as strong as it was back then.
Yet the defeat we know shall not stay
If we let our victory be in him.
The day will come when the pain goes away
And the victory banner is unfurled,
For Jesus our Lord and God does say,
“Fear not. I have overcome the world!”
