Yesterday's news said people were dying down in Africa

Burned in the afternoon sun--Too little to eat

Armies of saviours ran to the rescue

While the world looked on

To help while the cameras were rolling

Then sound the retreat

Yesterday's news... Yesterday's news

Yesterday's news said thousands of children

Would surely die

The refuse of love gone wrong

Love put to the test

Angry disciples now have grown silent

I, the worst of all

My passion for righteousness joins the children at rest

Yesterday's news... Yesterday's

News

But today under the weight of the world

Only so much attention to go 'round

And yesterday's tears like morning dew

Have burned away

But unto the least of these

He said You've done it to Me

Yesterday's news come back

Break my heart today

Yesterday's news said the King of the Jews met a cruel fate

Nailed to a tree over love--That's what I've heard

I can't shake that vision--Innocence bleeding in my place

Yesterday--Today and forever--Always the same

Always the same

Yesterday's news--Yesterday's news

I heard, once, that the reality of Christ's death on the cross

Had become much like hitting a dog with your automobile on the

Highway. At first, the horrible sinking feeling, then remorse,

Helplessness. But time is often a balm for the conscience.

Society's emergencies, injustices and disasters come and go, but

I dare not lose the grief nor the gratitude over the fact that

The Son of God died for me
