Analysis of Times Like These...
Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)
It's times like these that are hard on us all,
With all of the wars in the middle east - Could our loved ones get the call?
September eleventh will live on in our hearts and minds forever,
Osama Bin Laden thought he was being so clever.
The pain he has caused will never be forgotten,
The Lord above shall bring an end to his kind of rotten.
You don't come to the U.S.A. and treat us this way,
We'll take care of business that needs to be handled - in the Lord's way!
At times like these we all need to stand together as one - and stand tall,
And we need to not only pray as a nation but pray together for all.
So if your worried about what the future may hold,
Just read your Bible - for the future has been told!
