We have it within our power to begin the world over again.
Thomas Paine
Scripture
In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the
wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come
near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,‘Prepare the way
for the Lord, make straight paths for
him.’”
4 John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a
leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5 People
went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the
Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming
to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned
you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’
I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not
produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me
comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is
in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into
the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:1-12

All I see is
Shattered pieces
I can't keep it hidden like a secret
I can't look away!
From all this pain in a world we made!
Everyday you need
A bulletproof vest
To save yourself from what you could never guess!
Am I safe today?
When I step outside in the wars we wage!
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown!
Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise and revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise and revolution!
Unite and fight, to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call, tonight, we rise!
Rise.
Tonight, we rise
Rise.
Tonight, we rise!
Like a hand grenade,
Thrown in a hurricane,
Spinning in chaos,
Trying to escape the flame,
Yesterday is gone!
Faster than the blast of a car bomb!
And when the scars heal,
The pain passes,
As hope burns, we rise from the ashes!
Darkness fades away!
And a light shines on a brave new day!
Our future's here and now,
Here comes the countdown!
Sound it off, this is the call!
Rise and revolution!
It's our time to change it all,
Rise and revolution!
Unite and fight, to make a better life!
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call, tonight, we rise!
Rise.
Tonight, we rise
Rise.
Tonight, we rise!
In a world gone mad,
In a place so sad!
Sometimes it's crazy
To fight for what you believe!
But you can't give up,
If you wanna keep what you love!
(Keep what you love)
(Keep what you love)
(Keep what you love)
(Keep what you love)
Never give up, no!
Rise.
Rise and revolution
Rise.
Rise and revolution
Everybody one for all,
Sound off, this is the call!
Rise
Like we're alive
Tonight, we rise
Make a better life
Tonight, we rise!
Rise, rise, rise and revolution
Rise, rise, rise and revolution
Rise.

Operator: 911?
Woman: There's a guy here with a gun!
Operator: Ma'am? Ma'am?
Woman: Kids, get under the table! Kids get under the table!
*News reporter*: We are getting reports from all around the
globe, showing
The highest unemployment rates since the end of World War
II. Many are
Losing their jobs, their homes, and in many cases, their
hope.
*Upset parent*: You are such a failure! What is wrong with
you? You can't
Do anything right! I wish you had never been born!
Sentence Prayer
Praise to you Holy Father
Man is unholy
Praise to you merciful Father
Man is unmerciful
Yet, you love us unconditionally!
May your Holy Spirit
Teach us how to
Straighten the paths for your coming Son;
Jesus Amen!
