James Gillice - These Modern Times

Oh Lord
I have a wonderful life
Beautiful children a beautiful wife
These modern times you gotta hold on for life
And I need you now more than ever
Got friends on the left of me
Friends on the right
But men's hearts are failing
No matter which side they fight
How will I know who's wrong and who's right
Or maybe they're all wrong together
A lot of strange things have been going around
The troubles still reach us even in this small town
These modern times even good people drown
In an ocean of words of unreason
It's hard to hold on
And do what is right
With every temptation in your line of sight
The wicked will rage and the liars will spite
But they'll only have joy for a season
Oh Lord
What lies in wait for us now
We used to know better
But we lost it somehow
These modern times
Can we turn back around
From this darkness
Where no one remembers
Maybe we will
Maybe we won't
Maybe we feel that this world is a joke
These modern times will leave it all up in smoke
As we're falling in ashes and embers
I'm still true and faithful despite all the odds
You know I'm not perfect, so hold your applause
These modern times will separate you from God
And I hear the resounding
Whatever
Oh Lord
I have a wonderful life
Beautiful children
A beautiful wife
These modern times
You gotta hold on for life
And I need you now more than ever
Because I'm still holding on to forever
