No Status Quo

The world is rumbling
our society is crumbling.
The winds are blowing
the Lord’s power is showing.
The fire rages the smoke pollutes
it’s his power without refute.

Tides raise and recede
another day there is still need.
The strength of our human condition
will struggle and grow from this rendition.
We will do more than revive 
and even more than survive.

Living to grow strong
learning to right our wrongs.
Not settling for the times of yester year
for this I, must make absolutely clear.
I’ll accept no status quo,
If that’s what you offer, then my answer is no.

In this world of sublime,
that warns of the end of time.
I will fight for the hope of love anew
and struggle for my hearts renew.
This, is the life that I strive for
know this, as I knock at your door.
