STATE OF OUR UNION


Seek not
Approval of earthly systems
Profit driven churches
Bureaucracies
Mindless society
Cunning false prophets
Controlled by mortal man
The word of God is clear
Through The Lamb we shall find our way
Blessed gift of guidance from His Interpreter
He speaks to us in many ways
Sometimes subtle
Through a dream
A persistent thought
Deftly woven into the actions of another
Sadly I relay
Our modern civilization
Revolves around vanity
Like cattle
We follow the latest fad
Swallow the new miracle cure
Doped populace
Much easier to manipulate
Pharmaceutical cash cow of numbing placebos
Advised by Dr. “Do you have insurance”?
Pardon my cynicism
It’s borne on wings of brutal honesty
Our leaders
We depend upon so blindly
To defend us from all things un-American
Reaping millions from cutting edge technology
That keeps us in the dark
The time is now to listen
Observe with keen rationalization
The raging immorality
Hopelessness
Degradation of our ethical values
What could possibly be more blatant?
We all hear His voice within
At night as we try to sleep
Frustrated from immunity to the sedatives
When quiet invades our chaos
He stands at the door and knocks
Our choice
Strictly individual
To accept His gift of life
To break the bonds of slavery
Deliver us from the ultimate storm approaching
He
Our Lord Jesus Christ
The only answer to all our mortal questions
Churning within our gut



Colossians 3:4-6 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
