FALLEN<\/p>\n

Our land grows dark, there is no doubt,
\nLacking repentance, her light goes out.
\nRight is wrong, and wrong is now right,
\nYielding to sin has brought this plight.<\/p>\n

The fear of the Lord in many has cooled,
\nSatan’s lies have this nation so fooled.
\nOur forefathers came to serve the Lord,
\nBut now so many have abandoned His Word.<\/p>\n

God is patient, but He is likewise just,
\nTurn back to Him, or be ground to dust.
\nGod is not willing that any should fall,
\nHe gives us a choice, now it’s our call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
