Wasted Years
If my people, which are
called by my name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive
their sin, and will heal their land.
(ll Chronicles: 7-14)

ll Chronicles 7: 19-22
7-19: But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes
and my commandments, which I have set before you,
and shall go and serve
other gods, and worship them;
7-20: Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land
which I have given them; and this house, which I have
sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight,
and make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
7-21: And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment
to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say,
why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
7-22: And it shall be answered, because they forsook the Lord God
of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them, and served them;
therefore hath He brought all this evil upon
them.

WASTED YEARS
Have you wandered along on life's pathway,
have you lived without love, a life of tears;
Have you searched for the great hidden meaning,
Or is your life filled with long wasted years?
Search for wisdom and seek understanding,
There is someone who knows and always hears;
Give it up! Give it up! The Load you're bearing,
You can't go on in a life of wasted years.
wasted years, wasted years, oh, how foolish,
As you walk on in darkness and fears;
Turn around, turn around, God is calling,
He's calling you from a life of wasted years.
