Habakkuk Lyrics

In a world of increasing international crises and internal corruption, nation rises against nation around the world and sin abounds
at home. World powers aim an ever-increasing array of complex nuclear weapons at each other while they speak of peace.
The world at war seems incredibly imminent. While the stage is set for a global holocaust, an unsuspecting home audience ignorantly
sings a blissful tune. The world's moral fiber is being eaten away by a playboy philosophy that makes personal pleasure the supreme
rule of life. Hedonism catches fire while homes crumble. Crime soars while the church grows sour. Drugs, divorce, and debauchery prevail
and decency dies. Frivolity dances in the streets. Faith is buried. "In God we trust" has become a meaningless slogan stamped on corroding coins.
In this world of crisis and chaos, the Prophet Habakkuk speaks with clarity. Heed his admonition. Heed his warning. Take heart for through
intercession, worry transforms to worship, fear turns to faith, terror becomes trust. Doubts resolved with hope and anguish melts into adoration.
Then the heart can rest in the surety that Christ is King, and patiently await His return.Come Lord Jesus! Emanuel!
Bring Your Glory! Bring Your Justice!
------------------------
As in the times of Habakkuk, we are likewise living in a world that is coming apart at the seams. We are surrounded by sever injustice and the injustices of the world
are not limited to the third world. They are on our doorsteps. Habakkuk petitioned the Lord... he cried out for justice, for the weak to be fought for and for the world's
aggressors to be made to account for their wrongdoings. The Lord replies by proclaiming woe over those with blood on their hands who refuse to accept blame and repent.
Our God is merciful, slow to anger and abundantly patient. He never destroys without forewarning and we have been warned over and over.
