It’s fair to say we're treading days of viper grass
Where 'removed stings' seek a return…with crass
So, what do we do when yesteryear’s views
Present themselves like a new-born hew?
Mow it down…with Salvation’s Crown!
Douse it liberally…with Golgotha’s Liquidity!
Once, we were an easy target…alone…chained and bound
But now we've a Heavenly Master who's ‘claimed us’…found.
Thus, we do not accept those ‘intentional ills’
Which attack our crossing of ‘freedom’s sill’…
But…soar above…enslaved dust of the past
And…In The Name of Jesus…Stand Fast!!!
ISAIAH 26:3, GALATIANS 5:1

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trial
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord!"
Behold, He comes riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
Lift your voice, the year of jubilee
And out of Zion's hill, salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise
Oh, these are the days of the harvest
For the fields are as white in Your world
And we are the labourers in Your vineyard
Declaring the word of the Lord!
Behold, He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
Lift your voice, the year of jubilee
And out of Zion's hill, salvation comes
Behold, He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
Lift your voice, the year of jubilee
And out of Zion's hill, salvation comes
Oh, we give glory to You, Lord (we worship You, Lord)
You're the Lion of Judah
The Lamb who was slain (we worship You, Jesus)
You're the God of Jacob
You're the God of Elijah (Lamb of God)
You're the Lord God of Israel (oh, I praise You, Lord)
You're the Lord God of the universe (You're the Lion of Judah)
You're God of Heaven and earth
Oh, Lord our King and our Redeemer, You are
Amen sister. God will help us through this storm into a marvelous coming of our Mighty King Of Kings!!! Press forward
So many have forgotten or never learned the lesson that you and I learned during the civil rights movement when the dogs and water hoses were unleashed on innocent souls just trying to make a point about discrimination, subtle or not.
I'm with you and your poem. While the master sells Bibles with his signature on them for profit. As another tool in making Christians believe that he is a devout Christian rather than what he really is, power and money hungry.
