Political Praise - By Sandra R Fender Copyright 2008

It was crazy...
Absolutely mad, totally insane
I went to the extreme
To the borderline
And so I Prayed,
“Abba Father, its’ your daughter here,
do please, help me…!”
I went all out you see
Sick and tired of the lies, lies, and more lies
I had to seek the truth
Be the truth and
Find the truth
Of that which was promised to me
And lay hold of it, naturally!

I stood firm and called into existence
The forces of the gentiles
By birthright they are mine
And they bought to me a Hero
It was utterly divine
He walked into my realm
And with such ease took to the helm
Like a tall glass of water in the dessert
My thirst was abated
And the truth exposed
My waiting had been in vain
Hero and I looked at each other
And we began to speak the same

Amazingly incredible…
The deal was done
But actually as I mentioned to my friend…
It wasn’t a deal at all
See, the battle and been decided
And had already been won!
Now the dream was coming to past
With fresh impetus
Deep down inside I just I knew
That God would make this last!
Even just for a while
I would feel like a woman, a lady,
I have to admit I was happy and I began to smile
My Prince, My home, My centre, My love
Somehow found me
Oh the mystery of love
Goes on and on, into eternity

My Policy was being fine tuned and tested
Strategy demanded and
Spin commanded
That I pushed through the Prophecy
And prove my God myself
I supposed that I had to go somewhat looney
To confirm what I knew
In an age of cynicism
I knew that numbers would try to resist me
But time’s and season’s belong to God alone
He closes the gap
I was starting again
Into my hands was entrusted
A brand new road map

I have been given this liberty
"Thank you Heavenly Father
I take it not for granted"
So that I can turn around
And deliver the oppressed and the weak ,
From him that puffeth against him
And so boldly I
Take authority
And I Demonstrate
I speak by experience
To a generation
Who appear to be lost?
Yet seeking truth
By many means, at any cost
I rejoice, I sing, I bless 'His' Holy name
This is my determination
My Political Praise
For the Righteous shall not be denied, Righteous ways!

I say walk on generation x
Heads Held High
Forgetting those things that are behind
Keep your eye on the prize
Spread your wings,
Mount up as eagles
And go ahead, Fly, Fly Fly…
And one other thing always remember in your quest for truth
The race is not given to the swift
Neither to the strong
But to the one who endures, yes endures to the end
Endure, hold on, and don’t give up,
‘Give up’ the political praise!!!
And you will become wise in all your ways
“All honour and glory and dominion and might to the Lord God Almighty”
Yes indeed, Ring Out, my lovely Political Praise!
