Twenty-six years ago I remember hearing somebody say how corrupt our government has become. And they said it felt like people who want to stand up for truth, justice, and the American way (to quote from the old Superman TV show) just face impossible odds. Of course, it can feel like that. These days it can feel like that way more than back then. But I mentioned, then, and I’ll say it again. There’s an easy cure. But it appears to be WAY too difficult for most people on the planet.

The easy cure is to put your faith in the one who created you.

Now just because it’s an easy cure doesn’t mean there won’t be any problems for anyone who does that. In fact, as you probably well know, people who dare call themselves Christians are seeing persecution all around the world.

If you know someone who’s facing a steep uphill battle right now, be sure to encourage them with more than just saying the words, “I’ll pray for you.” Tell them you’ll be glad to do whatever you can to help them. And follow up the words with action. Because you might be their answer from God. You might be how He helps them face…

Impossible Odds

You say you’re feeling empty and it doesn’t go away.

And you live for your tomorrow and suffer in today.

You need to blow your trumpet to tear down all the walls

And keep your heart wide open to hear God when He calls.

You say you don’t believe me and you couldn’t be that sure.

Why do you want to shiver when there’s such an easy cure?

Just wrap your faith around you and keep your hope alive.

And soon you’ll see your answer on golden wings arrive.

You can’t begin the day; it’s impossible.

You don’t know what to say;  it’s impossible.

And so you seem to pray to impossible gods.

But let God take a turn; it’s possible.

To make that image burn; it’s possible

You still could overturn impossible odds.

So you drink from human water and you taste the bitterness.

And you listen to their words, but you’re hearing even less.

The solution can’t be found here with the wave of any hand.

You can rise out of your ashes if you live the High command.

Chorus…inst…repeat chorus and end
