“World needs Jesus” Arranged by Don Ives. Original by River Valley Worship
When our homes are hit by heartbreak
Let Your presence meet us there
When the pain seems overwhelming
We hold onto You
When the streets are torn by chaos
We will be Your hands and feet
When the darkness brings division
May we be Your light
‘Cause we know our world needs Jesus
We know that our world needs freedom
So give us eyes to see the hurting and the broken
And let our lives align with every word You say
When the nations ache from violence
We will be Your blessed peace
When the headlines scream injustice
May we shout Your name!
‘Cause we know that our world needs Jesus
We know that our world needs freedom
So give us eyes to see the hurting and the broken
And let our lives align with every word You say!
So let every heart turn to Jesus
Let every voice sing of Your great name
Let all the earth know Your freedom
‘Cause we believe for more
We believe for more!
‘Cause we know that our world needs Jesus
We know that our world needs freedom
So give us eyes to see the hurting and the broken
And let our lives align with every word You say!
‘Cause I know that I need You, Jesus
And I know this heart needs healing
So from my knees I lift this prayer to You, my Savior
For my life and for the world, You’re the answer
Jesus
When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. – Matthew 16:2
Are we in the end times?
Jesus gave us signs to recognize the season of His return.
In Matthew 24: 4-5 Jesus said, “…take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”
Folks, many families today are experiencing the heartbreak of children and grandchildren who have left the Church and are following what the great Apostle Paul called “another gospel”.
In fact, most of us know someone who says “I am The Christ”.
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!” – Galatians 1:8
And as a result, curses have rained down.
According to the CDC, over FIVE MILLION have died worldwide as a result of Covid-19 to date.
In Matthew 24: 6-8, Jesus foretold,
“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.”
Over TWELVE MILLION people have died at the hands of another human in the past 50 years. And, tragically, over THREE MILLION, mostly children, have starved to death. Often at the hands of their own political leaders.
In Matthew 24: 9-10, Jesus continues,
“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.”
U.S. Abortion statistics tell the story. Since Roe v. Wade, SIXTY ONE MILLION innocent lives have been taken. Every 37 seconds, another child is barbarically murdered.
According to Open Doors USA, over THREE HUNDRED AND FOURTY MILLION Christians are living in places where they experience high levels of persecution and discrimination. In the past year alone:
-
4,761 Christians killed for their faith.
-
4,488 churches and other Christian buildings attacked.
-
4,277 believers detained without trial, arrested, sentenced or imprisoned.
