lyrics: "This Too Shall Be Made Right" by Derek Webb

in this tune, derek points lots of things wrong with the world... very moving.

may i emphasize that the statements he makes are being declared as unfortunate truths or unfortunate opinions of people in this world... when he says that "there is a time for children to die," he is commenting on the terrible state of our world, and his hope for what is to come when these sufferings are no more (just in case you only skimmed one or two lines and misinterpreted...).

the 4th & 5th verses are the most powerful to me... Jesus calls us to a higher standard; in his 'kingdom,' there would be no war, no settling the score... no trading in people's lives for our own comfort...

a video that someone put together corresponding to the song is at the bottom. enjoy!

----------
people love you the most for the things you hate
and hate you for loving the things that you cannot keep straight
people judge you on a curve
and tell you you’re getting what you deserve
and this too shall be made right

children cannot learn when children cannot eat
stack them like lumber when children cannot sleep
children dream of wishing wells
whose waters quench all the fires of hell
and this too shall be made right

the earth and the sky and the sea are all holding their breath
wars and abuses have nature groaning with death
we say we’re just trying to stay alive
but it looks so much more like a way to die
and this too shall be made right

there’s a time for peace and there is a time for war
a time to forgive and a time to settle the score
a time for babies to lose their lives
a time for hunger and genocide
and this too shall be made right

I don’t know the suffering of people outside my front door
I join the oppressors of those who i choose to ignore
I’m trading comfort for human life
and that’s not just murder it’s suicide
and this too shall be made right
