Sometimes I feel a little outside, looking in

Of what is accepted, in a world of sin

Though I have my own sin to bear

This world has changed, this is clear

It is different than the world once known

The choices, the culture, the customs shown

Often, I disagree with the worldly point of view

I feel it is lost, broken and from God eschewed

I miss the world I used to know

Though that seems like so long ago

I look around, and I truly care

About everything that is happening here

God has given this life, to do things right

Though I worry, about what’s in my sight

The things that this world, does indulge in

Separates us, farther from Him

This world needs prayer, to get on track

Though it is hard to fix, when don’t see what it lacks

This world is loved, even in its guilt and shame

Somehow God loves us, all the same

I am looking in, thinking of the world, and what it used to be

It just seems like a distant memory

Someday God will rectify, he will make things new

A life cleansed from corruption, revelation proves it true

Sometimes I feel outside, as I am looking in

I look forward to the day, the worlds not plagued with sin

Someday made new

Revelation 21:5 NIV

He who was seated on the throne said,” I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
