The world at present is in quite a state. People all around the world are really struggling to live – there are many struggling to make ends meet, to feed their families, to keep a roof over their head – the basic necessities of life to survive. Sadly this is happening to those round about us, it’s not a land far away that we can only imagine what their life circumstances are like.
The song ‘Prayers for this world’ by Pentatonic really hit home with me, as it talks about the mess this world is in, and how it ‘feels like it might take a miracle to make it out alive’. Thankfully this Christmas we can offer that hope that so many need, by sharing the good news of the baby Jesus, and how God sent Jesus to earth to show the world just how much he loves us.
So rather than just complaining about all that is happening in this world let’s
I'm gonna take a chance I'm gonna make a change Give all the love I can 'Cause that's the only way for us-way for us I'm gonna pray for us-pray for us
These are hard times in these times Feels like the world's 'bout to capsize Feels like it might take a miracle To make it out alive The clock is tickin' What do we do? Is someone listenin'? Help us through Prayers for this world Bring peace to it's doors Bring hope to it's shores We've got to change it Prayers for this world Bring wind to it's sails It's gone off the rails We've got to save it Raise up our hands and rise together It's got to be now It's now or never Prayеrs for this world We've got to save us all Ohh (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) (oh oh) Pray for this world (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) (oh oh) Prayеrs for this world (Ohh) Feels like we're trapped in a landslide Can't even look at the headlines 'Cause when you look at what's goin' on You just wanna run and hide Only light can fight the darkness Only love can end the hate We gotta get us some love and light So love can light the way The clock is tickin' Time's runnin' out Is someone listenin'? Help us out Prayers for this world Bring peace to it's doors Bring hope to it's shores We've got to change it Prayers for this world Bring wind to it's sails It's gone off the rails We've got to save it Raise up our hands and rise together It's got to be now It's now or never Prayers for this world We've got to save us all I'm gonna take a chance I'm gonna make a change Give all the love I can 'Cause that's the only way for us-way for us I'm gonna pray for us-pray for us Prayers for this world Bring peace to it's doors Bring hope to it's shores We've got to change it Prayers for this world Bring wind to it's sails It's gone off the rails We've got to save it Raise up our hands and rise together It's got to be now It's now or never Prayers for this world We've got to save us all Pray for this world (Oh) woo-ooh (oh) Prayers for this world
