The drum beats louder..... 

Oh dear Lord please share your wisdom,
we need you now more than ever before.
Such uncertainty, cataclysmic by design,
spreading far and wide from shore to shore.

           The drum beats louder.....

Watching over this precious flock,
another page in history begins to form.
The clashing of titans walking a path,
as heaven and earth ignite in storm.

           The drum beats louder.....

Your shining light, your gift to all,
fades through time with each generation.
You gave of yourself, died for our sins,
without malice for future congregation.

           The drum beats louder.....

Mayhem and disruption is everywhere,
the drum beats louder with each passing day.
Faith grows stronger, but resilience wanes,
uncertain of what is coming this way.

           The drum beats louder.....

Why have we turned to look the other way,
forfeiting God and country, denying all?
Many fought and gave of their lives,
for this land of freedom hear the call.

           The drum beats louder.....

Our way of life is about to differ,
from all who worked hard to set us free.
Is this prophecy coming to pass,
or lack of prayer in honor of thee.

           The drum beats louder.....

Nostradamus has spun his web,
pen to paper, his predictions told.
Now we are helpless, we see the signs,
the final chapter now to unfold.

           The drum beats louder.....

Oh dear Lord please share your wisdom,
we need you now more than ever before.
Such uncertainty, cataclysmic by design,
spreading far and wide from shore to shore.
