Good News, Bad News... Good Views, Bad Views... Poem by Denis Martindale

I would rather hear the Good News... all through the live-long day...
I would rather hear the good views... praise God, thank God and pray...
But bad things happen all the time... that add to stress and strife...
Yes, bad things happen, crime by crime... with even loss of life...
Should I leave home? Should I stay in? Should I just stay in bed?
I'd like to know how I can win... and overcome my dread...

Is it just fear or cowardice? Or is it wisdom now?
I know that ignorance is bliss... yet what will God allow?
I know in other lands it's worse... with devils everywhere...
No trust in God, folks live the curse... without resort to prayer...
That's why I pray on their behalf... and intercede with love...
That God restores each smile, each laugh... with mercy from above...

So law and order gets restored... and crime no more misleads...
And lost souls find our precious Lord... so that each intercedes...
The more we save through Jesus Christ... the better life will be...
Because of all He sacrificed... that day on Calvary...
If not for Him, I'd never roam... I'd stay and never grieve...
And yet, with Him, I leave my home... and trust whom I believe...
