The Way Things Ought To Be Lyrics
(Don Koch/Brian White/Charles Billingsley )
Can you remember the day When you could trust a man with what you had and what he'd say Can you remember the time When Godliness and honesty weren't so hard to find Can you remember the time
How did we ever get here What have we lost along the way Why is it we still search for hope When the answer's still the same
CHORUS More love in every heart Hearts who live for peace More peace in every nation Nations on their knees People longing for forgiveness And lives to be set free Oh I believe That's the way things ought to be
How long before we can see That we have compromised our future living selfishly How long before we return To the foundation, we once built on, found in God's Holy word Tell me how long
Oh can't you hear the voices of those Who died to share their faith And it echos thru the hallways of time Calling us to do the same
BRIDGE Oh let us feel compelled Oh let us feel this passion Hunger that will bring us back to you Back to the things we once knew
