There's a decided difference,
From the old days and
the new,
We used to discipline
our children,
But now few parents ever
do.
There used to be a firm
line,
Between what's right and
what's wrong,
The Parson preached fire
and brimstone,
And we sang sacred hymns,
not songs.
Our parents set the rules,
And the children followed
through,
There were lots of fun
and games,
But disruptions were few.
We treated others with
respect,
We helped our neighbors,
too.
There weren't any instant
answers,
But our trust in each
other grew.
Now everyone's in a big
hurry,
God is no longer number ONE!
We bow down to our children,
Instead of God's Holy
Son.
I ponder the future,
As I hear a new baby cry,
Will we obey God's pure
love,
Or continue to live a
lie?
The Bible says, "Bring
up a child,
In the way he should go."
But we have disobeyed
His Word,
And our expectations are
low.
Listen, my firends, to
His Holy Word,
Teach it firmly and clear.
And we have God's promise,
That we have nothing to
fear.
