Godsend
Life’s a roundtrip quest
a return journey home
a realization that we’re blessed
a chance to place God on His throne
His throne lives in our hearts
when we put God first
we’re immune to satan’s darts
although it gives it’s worst
Mere temporary oppression
sticks and stones
hurting us is it’s obsession
but our spirit’s not our bones
satan’s lost everything
his own pride cut his wings
and all the loyal angels sing
Hallelujah to God, the true King
God’s temple isn’t a building
not a charlatan’s marketplace
God’s temple exists within
God’s home in us, a space of grace
Life’s a choice of selfishness
or denial of self
gratitude and graciousness
or hoarding material wealth
so we should do our best
sincerely, continually strive
put our faith to the test
serve God while we’re alive
He ransomed us from death
gave all that He could give
til His very last breath
so that all of us could live
There’s no greater choice
no kinder action, than for a friend
to give His life, give us voice
His friendship is our Godsend
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” John 2:19 (Amplified Bible translation)

I agree, some of the newer songs don’t even mention Jesus.
