Better world


 

The broken world in shattered fragments lie,
From ev’ry corner hear its children’s cries;

  Its famished millions ask in vain for bread;
 The very souls of men are left unfed.

   The Saviour calls for saviours in His name
  To take the broken bits and build again

Among the ruins of what might have been,

And in the darkness where no hope is seen,
  Illuminate the cross where Jesus died.
  Disclose his love which cannot be denied.

Go spend yourselves in service for the lost,
And like your, Lord refuse to count the cost. John Gowans
