Who Lost Amazing Grace Poem by Steve Gregory

I need amazing grace for living in the human race
I need the saving grace of Saviours arms opened wide
But the world says I need to get a life that don't offend
The people who say I am deluded following the one
Who gives me hope and peace in this peace less world.
I'm getting annoyed at the politics of correctness that says
I should adapt to their thinking and forget what I have heard
From the book that teaches life and the word that ends all strife.
I am told to get in line in a world where no one queues at all,
And people charge like bulls when the stores open their doors;
I hear people swear on the Bible then swear that God is dead.
The blaspheming from their lips would sink ships if it were
Allowed to be prosecuted, but the only blasphemy is when
The names of other deities are on my lips or I talk of the God
I love in the street where I live. So forgive my incredulity but
I want to rant and berate the law makers for killing my land
We used to serve the one true God now we serve the one true
Dollar that can buy a life and save a sinner yet put to death the
Living Saviour who man has pushed away and placed instead
The love of depravity and woe betide us who want to be seen
Living in reality of the truth and told truth is a lie and lie is truth.
And amazing grace is hard to find, it's lost the touch for human
Pace, yet if the song is sung and God left out it would be number
One in the hit parade; yes grace is what we need yet is missing in
Action as the people who believe are stooped by inaction of the state,
So how can we escape this enigmatic life that causes us the pain
That should be buried with the sin that the Saviour took on the cross?
What do we do when the resurrection is derided and all that rises is
The price of fuel to light the fires that burn the corpse of our society.
How have we come to this, when brave men died and braver women cried
As the world saw the demonic battles fought across the globe yet
Grace was killed instead and something evil this way comes while
All the world looks on and ignores the Son of God who opened wide
His arms and said He loves us so much and died, but never mind the
World has given a new religion that ignites the passion of the pocket,
While ignoring that the Son of Man rose from the grave for earth
And mortar cannot hold the Lord of living water; so the earth is
Pounded by demonic whorls that spin out of control above our eyes
And Angelic hosts battle on to save the few who live in the rain of
Holy grace and lost amazing grace can still be found striding through
Our land and revealing truth when lie is king and sinking the lie in
The stream that flows to Hades pit and sulphur burns the nostrils
Of the detractors of the King of Creation while the saved speak
Grace into the situation and pray for life continuation to bring
The grace of God back to where it began and save the earth again.
I need amazing grace, to sanctify the place where life is lived in
The Harmony of Gods amazing love in evangelistic power and prayer.
