WE ARE THE WORLD

As humans, we live and work and breathe
We sleep and waken from dawn to dark
Children of light, force of the earth
We were created to rise and make a mark

Charged with the task of running the earth
Filled with potential, and with skill supplied
To meet bare necessities, e’en opulent wants
Till the ends of the earth are occupied

We’re in dominion on earth, we rule it all
But Christians, have received a special call
A commission from the Supreme Himself
That makes us surrender forgetting oneself

For we are His so-called ‘chosen ones’
He has set us apart, called us His own
And by obedience to Him, we always live
Till curtain call when we must go home.

Assuredly, those in Christ will perish not
Who abide in Him in spirit and thought
Who live by the sword, will die by the sword
Eternal life is gained by who follow His Word.

This vast, wide world will one day forever be ours
When our Lord raises His kingdom to power
The heavens will finally come unfurled
To enfold us, for we are the ultimate world.
