Then God spake all these words, saying, "I am
the Lord thy God,
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of
the
house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of any thing that
is in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
for I
am a jealous God...Exodus 20:1-5
Lady Liberty? |
Some call her Lady Liberty.
To
me, she's just another idol.
Faith in God through Jesus Christ:
Is what is
really vital.
Some would pledge to her allegiance.
I see that as an
error.
In the end, God's reign shall stand,
But her reign shall end in
terror.
If she were of any consequence,
She would not be so
lax.
Her government oppresses her people,
With each new democratic
tax.
God hates each and every idol.
False hopes is all that she can
give.
Put your trust in Jesus Christ,
In His salvation, You shall
live.
She has eyes, but cannot see.
She speaks only by man's
devices.
All they that would trust in her...
May soon perceive their
crisis.
Don't trust in your vain idols.
Trust the merits of Jesus'
cross.
Don't settle for idol lordship;
Let Jesus be your boss.
Seek
the comfort of His Holy Spirit,
And His Lordship over you.
You will not
regret that choice.
His is a love that's true.
His power is
resurrection power.
Never did a statue raise the dead.
"I am the way, the
truth, and the life."
That is what Jesus has said.
Her liberty is only
in symbolism,
Yet people hold her in high esteem.
The salt mist and smog
has pitted her,
Showing her vulnerability, it would seem.
God shall
judge this nation,
for it's trust in her,
As well as for its
immorality,
Unless we repent of our error.
Repent, repent, the time is
now.
Return to the God we can trust.
Follow the example of our
forefathers,
Lest our stature continues to rust.
Believe that God
raised Jesus.
His resurrection; hold dear in your heart.
Confess Jesus as
your Lord and Saviour,
He truly gives a brand new start.
Call on the
Lord, that He may be found.
Though He's already with you.
Only He can
redeem your soul.
Yes, His promises are true!
