Today, the values in this world

Are not a pretty sight

A life of fame and worldly gain

Has led us from the light.



Today, our lives are compromised

By greediness and wealth

The Bible has been hid away

Upon a dusty shelf.



Today, the thoughts that fill our minds

Are shallow without God

The trails that wander through the soul

Are paths, we shouldn’t trod.



Today, I took a look around

I gazed into the sky

The grandeur of this universe

The fact we all shall die.



Today, I viewed God’s handiwork

And somehow felt quite small

The moon, the stars, a grain of sand

The mystery of it all.



Today, I came to realize

The things that meant so much

Are really of no value now

Without the Master’s touch.
