Gospel Gap

"O God, forsake me not; until I have showed Thy strength unto this generation, and Thy power to every one that is come" (Psalm 71:18). "There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. there is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men" (Proverbs 30:11-14).

The so-called generation gap
Has never bothered me.
The greater problem is the trap
That robs morality.

The Gospel gap, that void of truth,
Is really what is wrong.
Without God's Word, our troubled youth
Cannot survive for long.

They need to see the Gospel's power
In their own generation.
This is their crucial need this hour:
To taste of God's salvation.

This generation learned too well
Their rule of revolution:
The fittest lived, the weaker fell;
They call it evolution.

Thus we reap what we have sown;
Why should we be surprised?
The consequences now are known
For God's Word compromised.

Let us therefore work to lay
A Gospel-based foundation.
For Christ is still the only way
To save this generation.
