Evening News

When I pick up the paper
     All the violence that I see
When I turn on the TV
     That bad news is getting to me
Just can’t escape it, no
     Jesus said this is how it would be

We’ve got teenage parents
     Doing drugs and drinking alcohol
Living off of welfare 
     Barely getting by at all
The Devil keeps lying
     He’s setting them up for a fall

And that evening news
     Is singing the blues and the
Devil is roaming around
     He’s cruising the Earth
And he’s giving birth to sin
     And bringing people down
But we’ve read the book
     And we’re going to win
Cause we’ve got the victory 
     Over sin, in Jesus

I’ve been reading my Bible
     And I can’t deny what I’ve read
I’ve been reading my Bible
     And I can’t deny what I’ve read
You know the end is coming 
     The proofs around 
It’s all been said

The world is listening to
     A new age of psychic lies
Calling dial a demon
     Listening to some bad advice
And those fiery darts going to
     Hit them right between the eyes

And that evening news
     Is singing the blues and the 
Devil is roaming around
     He’s cruising the Earth 
And he’s giving birth to sin
     And bringing people down
We’ve read the book and 
     We’re going to win
Cause we’ve got the victory
     Over sin, in Jesus
