My End of the World

One minute, the whole world is in my hands
The next, like the end of the world
Still alive amidst a dying world
And yet, the music's ever so lovely

The song speaks of love lost
The news, a nation racing downhill
The church, of anything and everything
And yet, the music's ever so lovely

The people dream of greener pastures
The restrained whisper "Listen to his voice!"
Deep within lies the freshness of his words
Oh, the music's ever so lovely

My lover has my heart, my mind, my soul, my strength
Transformed, I am a steadfast regent
Fulfilling his purposes amidst a dying world
Oh, the music's ever so lovely

Heading towards the end of the world ...
