Jesus, Take a Hold

Like the ancient Roman empire, this world is doomed to fall

And it's much too big a thing for mortal man

Just take a look around and see the writing on the wall

Somehow, we've got to find a helpin' hand

This world has never been in the awful shape it's in

And people scorn the things our leaders do

It's time a prayer was spoken from the heart of every man

Jesus, take a hold and lead us through

The mighty roar of gunfire is now a local sound

And our city streets are filled with angry men

Law is now a mockery throughout our troubled land

And destruction seems to be the current trend

This world has never been in the awful shape it's in

And our leaders seem in doubt of what to do

It's time a prayer was spoken from the heart of every man

Jesus, take a hold and lead us through

Jesus, take a hold and lead us through

Jesus, take a hold and lead us through
