He’s Got the Whole Worldwide in His Hands
He’s got the whole world
It appears horribly true
‘In his hands’, per the song
‘Cept a very precious few
He’s workin’ every man
who just wants a good job
and most woe-man too
Til they break down and sob
He’s got us sighin’ an’ workin’
All over this big earth
To feed and clothe kin
For home and for hearth
He’s got plenty of jobs for all
He keeps us all busy
All of us get paid somethin’
Whether grunt work or easy
We’re workin’ so earnest
Both day and nights
He’s makin’ us work so
We’ve little foresight
We’re sweatin’ the loads
Of work in the fields
In the factories and stores
The mines and the mills
Both in the airy offices
And the swelterin’ sewers
Drillin’ and Frackin’ for oil
Drivin’ Lyfts and Ubers
There’s work to mine uranium
Copper and lithium pockets
iron and many minerals
To make things like rockets
We make batteries, satellites
Nuclear plants and guns
Spy-cams, tanks and bombs
Jets, smart meters, drones
He’s got us makin’ a livin’
So it seems, for ourselves
But it’s more like we’re dyin’
More like locked in a jail cell
We’re doin’ his make-work
Some even get the jobs they lust
But is it to run this world for man
Or for this world to run us?
The ‘he’, who’s got the big hands
And the whole world in them
His ‘jobs’ are no favors to us
But serve us up to him!
Say, are we buildin’ a good world?
We can’t see the big picture
So frantic in our labors
He’s– in truth — a destructor
From his perch, vampire-like
He sucks the whole world dry
Mapped out all oil and resources
Befouling our water, air and sky
No need to go down the list
Of the insults to our earth
This place that daily feeds us
He’s made us forget its worth
A worth that’s Oh! so priceless
A planet like it there is none
Still he seeks to fly the heavens
And find himself another one
He will frack and hack away
Using us as beguiled labor
Warring over lands and wealth
Without regard for neighbor
Have you yet guessed it?
Who I’m talkin’ about?
His name is ‘Manslayer’
As so aptly pointed out
By John, Jesus’ gospel-writer
In chapter eight of his Bible Book
In verse forty-four, you’ll see
Do, please, take time to look
John elaborates even more
In the First of his three Letters
In chapter five, verse 19, he
ID’s the ‘He’ keeping us in fetters
Tells us that ‘He’ is ‘the evil one’
That though we originate with GOD
That our world and all upon it
Are ‘lying in the power’ of Ba’al
God’s Word has forewarned us
But also shows the way out
He gave us a leader to follow
Through the darkness and drought
That leader declares: ‘I am the light’!
So who is He? GOD’s son with a key!
The One…‘the bright morning star’!
Jesus has come…to release you and me!
