Too Quick To Call It Quits

Kristine Cucinotta Murphy

A people too quick to call it quits
Impatient, selfish, at ends wits

Instant everything, gotta have it right now
But not willing to put hands to the plough

Speak of God, not knowing him
Unfriending, separating and divorcing

No more kindness, all demanding
Not willing to pray or wait in long suffering

Not being sought out by God alone to be approved
Loving self, easily moved

Murmur, gripe, moan and blame
No faith to be healed from being lame

Seeking to be served, entitlement
Won’t study, get a clue or a subtle hint

Not humble, have to be heard as loud as thunder
Will be quick to put you asunder

Eyes of glass, over glossed
Burning bridges that need to be crossed

Lost generation won’t you hear
Your maker draweth near

Standing naked before all to see
Won’t you be clothed in all humility

To seek forgiveness of your sins, stuck in a deep well
Grab hold of Jesus, the rope that can pull you out of hell

He loves you now, he loved you then
Won’t you let his compassion for you in

He loved you enough to die for you, he loved you first
He loves you enough to save you from sin’s curse

Receive his help, he stands at your door and knocks
He is your stepping stone made from stumbling blocks

Seek him this day, this very hour
He can destroy both body and soul, he has the power

He holds the keys to death and hell
May you accept him, for your soul to be well

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
