you love the world and you re avoiding me

Keith Green

I want you here with me.

But you ve been keeping other company.

You can t sit still, it s plain to see.

You love the world and you re avoiding me.

My word sits there upon your desk.

But you love your books and magazines the best.

Prefer the light of your TV.

You love the world, and you re avoiding me.

You used to pray, you were so brave.

Now you can t keep even one appointment we ve made.

Oh I gave my blood, to save you life.

Tell me, tell me is it right?

Will you leave me here along again tonight?

Well I love you, still more and more.

But you re fighting everything I m working for.

You re acting like my enemy.

You love the world and you re avoiding me.

These other loves, they re hurting you.

If you end up losing me, then what will you do?

Oh, I gave my blood, to save your life.

Tell me, tell me is it right?

Will you leave me here alone again tonight?

Well, I want you, here with me.

But you ve been keeping other company.

Prefer the light, of your TV.

You love the world, and you re avoiding me.

You love the world, you love the world,

You love the world and you re avoiding me.

Oh, you love the world.
