We long for good news

We long for good news

by Joel Howard

Ding! Ring! TV screen! 

We all run mad and together we scream

Check your phone! Hear it ring! 

Change that channel to a better thing! 

We long for good news in every text message

every notification, everywhere we open our eyes

And we are surprised when it all fails us inside

We long for good news

For the news to cover our blues

We have worn out the soles of our shoes looking

Modern technology gathers for us 

So that with a finger swipe we get man's best advice 

We've checked it all once, now we'll check it twice

For we long, we long for good news

In all we say and do

Blessed are the feet of those 

who publish it on the mountain tops! 

Christian, let your light shine! 

Now is the time!
