Take This World

So going back through my notebook yesterday, the one that contains all of my writing from a few years ago (and no it's not a journal! LOL), I stumbled across this. I don't remember writing it or ever rereading it before, but I really like it. It's one of the better ones, I think.

Take This World

Where did the world go wrong?
Can this emotion be expressed in a song?
I can't secure the words
That describe the way I feel inside
The world does not forgive
And only benevolence does it forget

God, take this world away
Bring a better day
God, take this world away
This is all that I can pray
Take this world away

This life had been so hard
I won't live on with disregard
I believe in bigger things
Than all this world can bring
How can there be so many blind
to all the pagan kind?

God, take this world away
Bring a better day
God, take this world away
This is all that I can pray
Take this world away

Take me to a better place
Away from vengeance and disgrace
Take me to a better place
I thank you for Your sacrifice
Take this world away
