EVIL AT BAY

Evils small and large go hand in hand
marching in goose step, on God’s fair land:
ignoring, distorting, God’s living Command.

Loving Creator, whom we seek and fear:
our prayers as we struggle are not always clear,
yet we trust in Your goodness for all we hold dear.

Today we taste of the anguish which You must have borne
when the waters unleashed in the monstrous Flood,
drowning all Mankind (save eight) in the mud.

Help us, O LORD, to have view that’s seen clearly
when judging Evil from Truth gained so dearly
