Great is the darkness that covers the earth.

This was one of the songs in church today. The lyrics really speak to me about the state of the world in years gone by and now.
It’s easy to lean on our hope when things in our little bubble are going well but all the time for someone somewhere that darkness is present. It can make one quite sad.
Great is the darkness
That covers the earth
Oppression, injustice and pain
Nations are slipping In hopeless despair
Though many have come in Your name
Watching while sanity dies
Touched by the madness and lies
Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus
Pour out Your spirit we pray
Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus
Pour out Your spirit on us today
May now Your church rise With power and love
This glorious gospel proclaim
In every nation Salvation will come
To those who believe in Your name
Help us bring light to this world
That we might speed Your return
Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus
Pour out Your spirit we pray
Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus
Pour out Your spirit on us today
Great celebrations On that final day
When out of the heavens You come
Darkness will vanish All sorrow will end
And rulers will bow at Your throne
Our great commission complete
Then face to face we shall meet
Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus
Pour out Your spirit we pray
Come Lord Jesus, come Lord Jesus
Pour out Your spirit on us today
