This Sinking Ship

Save us please

From this sinking ship

It has been raining for days

The earth has been soaked

Drenched

Flooded

The rivers

Have overflowed

There is a rising tide

And no where to hide

The world has wiped us away

And all that remains

Is this ship

Held up only by our faith

Which is being shaken

Hard

There are enemies

So cruel

So evil

Pure

Evil

And they are trying to tear us apart

Shoot holes in our hull

Bring us under the surface

Drown us

They have drowned us

In our tears

In our blood

They won't cease

Until we cease to exist

But You promised

40 days, 40 nights

And the flood would end

But can we last that long?

Give us a sign

Give us something to hold onto

Something to believe in

We believe

That there will be peace

That the world will return
To order and truth

You showed us your promise

Now end the waves of terror

End the floods of incitement and force

Return us to a world

Where your might is the only thing we fear

And Your power

Takes our breath away

A world

Where tears do not soak the earth

Rather they are only shed for happiness
