Worldly


Psalm 28:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)

7 The Lord strengthens and protects me; 
I trust in him with all my heart.
I am rescued and my heart is full of joy;
I will sing to him in gratitude.

 

A day called “Thanksgiving” in a world of turmoil

In the city called “Washington” love flows to one side

Who knows for certain or it is worth the waiting

Will anything come in return, will any really oblige?

 

Why even bother when disaster is just around the corner?

The ones who live forever will be the only ones to survive

Time will show the sorrow almost like the fall of Pompey

To disappear in history washed away deep in the night

 

It does not take an army when God brings judgment

Unless He wants a few here to be saved to tell the story

But even at that, it will not make a big difference

For mankind learns not from the past with all its gory

 

America an example of what a divided house can be

Intelligence and mightiness lose the most opportunity

Citizens of the world, they are but so are the Chinese

all in the same boat in storms of life chosen fatalities

 

Destiny does not waver from its appointed path

Slowly all things fall into place for the heathen to conquer

Kind of sad to think that blindness is a celebrated fad

To in most to fulfill the addiction of the power's hunger

 

Huffy puffy characters and some thin as a rail

Products of their own making a self-serving crowd

Predestined it seems like a losing Judas being stale

Sold out by their flesh first as so it now turned out
