Saving Grace - 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. Head 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!
