What’s the use? There is no hope for me

What’s the use? There is no hope for me

Deep inside just fear and misery.

Man’s enslaved by this haunting melody—

Everything

my friend

is temporary.

There is an answer: a wonderful Person!

He’s Jesus the Lord; He’s God’s beloved Son!

This wonderful Person is now your solution.

Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s Firstborn Son!

Day by day

I tried to stop this song.

What is it? There must be something wrong...

Oh! This life is just a hopelessness!

Always searching

but tasting emptiness.

There is an answer: a wonderful Person!

He’s Jesus the Lord; He’s God’s beloved Son!

This wonderful Person is now your solution.

Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s Firstborn Son!

All day long you play the “same ole song”:

“Good morning”

“How are you?”

“No

there is nothing wrong.”

You’re swept by the world of deceptive vanity

A tide looking good

but it’s void of reality.

Just call “Oh Lord Jesus”: the truth you’re confessing

That God raised this Jesus from among the dead.

Your heart this believing

just call to receive Him.

He’s Jesus the Savior

your great salvation.

You’re conformed to unreality

Trapped in a wheel of human anxiety.

You are caught

you’re in the web already.

You’re spun to this song: you’re just the spider’s prey.

Jesus crushed the devil and overcame evil.

That kingdom He leveled and destroyed the devil.

He will free you from sin

from death

world and Satan.

Just call “Oh Lord Jesus” and He will enter in.

Life is a song as a time hour glass

Sand by sand

my friend it cannot last.

You’re born

you live

and eventually you die.

Friend

you can’t change it

no need to even try.

There is a new song

a wonderful Person!

He’s Jesus the Lord

He’s God’s beloved Son!

This wonderful Person is now your solution!

Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s Firstborn Son!
