BLIND NATION<\/p>\n

Well some people still don’t get it,
\nRegardless of how much I’ve said,
\nI just strive to tell them the truth,
\nBut they can’t get it in their head.<\/p>\n

Putting so much faith in leaders,
\nThinking politics will heal our land.
\nBut the actual problem is spiritual,
\nAnd it has gotten very out of hand.<\/p>\n

We see defiance against the Lord,
\nIt is in every place where we look,
\nGod’s truth is cast to the ground,
\nThey just don’t like His holy Book.<\/p>\n

Yet if we forsake our own Creator,
\nIt is certain we will not do so well,
\nThe Bible makes the truth so clear,
\nThe wicked will be turned into hell.<\/p>\n

Is that not now what we’re seeing,
\nAs that old Devil has his vile way,
\nGross sin all across this country,
\nIf we refuse to repent we will pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
