FALLEN NATION<\/p>\n

You used to preach the Gospel,
\nYes, a witness to the entire world,
\nBut oh how you have backslidden,
\nWith that gay pride flag unfurled.<\/p>\n

Ever so slowly over the decades,
\nYour faith became compromised,
\nThat Devil trapped you in his bag,
\nYet you just never even realized.<\/p>\n

A country that had so much light,
\nHow could you go so very wrong,
\nInstead of singing about Heaven,
\nYou proudly export Satan’s song.<\/p>\n

You’ve forgotten the sacred steps,
\nWhere long ago you had walked,
\nYou have thrown out the Bible,
\nYes, His Word you have mocked.<\/p>\n

Like a stubborn, rebellious child,
\nYou foolishly went your own way,
\nBut be warned oh wicked nation,
\nGod will deal with you someday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
