Tye Tribbett's song reflects on the perilous times described in 2 Timothy, noting how society mirrors those predictions. He emphasizes that the issue is the human heart, which only Jesus can cure. The song is a call to recognize the need for Christ in a world marked by selfishness and godlessness.

I mean I'm concerned a little bit
I'm concerned because it's literally looking like second Timothy
It says "Know this in the last days perilous times shall come
For people will love only themselves and their money
They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God
They will be disobedient to parents
They will be unthankful, unholy
They will consider nothing sacred
They will be unloving and unforgiving
They will slander others and have no self-control
They will be cruel and hate what is good
They will betray their friends
They will be reckless, be puffed up with pride and love pleasure rather than God
They will have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof"
Perilous times or hard times are upon us
And Timothy talked nothing about the government, nothing about systems
He talked only about the hearts of man
And there is no cure for the hearts of man besides Jesus Himself
