Wayne Watson - Yesterday's News lyrics
Wayne Watson Yesterday's news said people were dying down in Africa Burned in the afternoon sun--Too little to eat Armies of "saviours" ran to the rescue While the world looked on To help while the cameras were rolling Then sound the retreat Yesterday's news...Yesterday's news Yesterday's news said thousands of children Would surely die The refuse of love gone wrong Love put to the test Angry disciples now have grown silent I, the worst of all My passion for righteousness joins the children at rest Yesterday's news...Yesterday's news But today under the weight of the world Only so much attention to go 'round And yesterday's tears like morning dew Have burned away But unto the least of these He said "You've done it to Me" Yesterday's news come back Break my heart today Yesterday's news said the King of the Jews met a cruel fate Nailed to a tree over love--That's what I've heard I can't shake that vision--Innocence bleeding in my place Yesterday--Today and forever--Always the same Always the same Yesterday's news--Yesterday's news I heard, once, that the reality of Christ's death on the cross had become much like hitting a dog with your automobile on the highway. At first, the horrible sinking feeling, then remorse, helplessness. But time is often a balm for the conscience. Society's emergencies, injustices and disasters come and go, but I dare not lose the grief nor the gratitude over the fact that the Son of God died for me |
