Cold Love
We can all read that the love will become cold
We can all see that what has been foretold
Is the world we live in now
We can be amazed that two thousand years ago
It was written where the world would go
It is the world we live in now
The love that is cold is from the brothers close
A bitter cup to swallow, a bitter poisoned dose
It is the world we live in now
We see selfishness
We feel loneliness
We see lawlessness
We feel lovelessness
As was sagely said
In the pages that I’ve read:
“To live up high with the saints we know,
Oh Lord, that would be glory,
But to live down here with the saints below,
Now that’s a different story!”
