Our God

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)

Pastoral
I see the tears and I see all the years.
I see the beers and I see all the cheers.

We don't know when we'll succeed
And we don't know when we'll be freed.

But what we do know is that God is here,
And that He should be our only fear.

For all you workers, sing raises.
For all you disciples of God, sing praises.

I step one foot in quicksand and it consumes me.
Quicksand is like sin, if we get too deep we need help to flee.

Hell is like a burning house that consumes our possessions.
Just make sure your goals are right with God and your passions.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
So please follow Him and not strife.
