What is a city without a sentinel?
Criminal paradise.
What is freedom without fraternity?
Inflated self-image.
What is man without love?
Beast of instinct.
What is life without purpose?
Chronology of destruction.

What is religion without truth?
Tyranny of hate.
What is fervour without knowledge?
Suicidal devastation.
What is the world without Christ?
Inhabitable inferno.

Turn page on page,
Disaster erupts on disaster.
Terror bleeds each margin.
Between warlords, drones and dictators,
The poor civilian under siege.
Leaders chant peace on the podium
And scheme terror in remote enclosures.

There remains for a secure future
One answer solid and enduring.
The Prince of Peace comes quickly
To banish evil and suffering;
He will supplant with righteousness
Our sin-captive civilisation
And evermore reign with compassion.
Even so, come Lord Jesus!
