Fear Trumps Compassion

Hearts and minds grow cold –
Unrighteous controversy;
Fear trumps compassion,
Hearts and minds close rebel ranks,
Rejecting the call to serve.

God’s commands are clear:
Love the Lord, reject idols;
Humbly serve others in love;
Speak truth, and honour Jesus –
Behold, His Kingdom is near.
