DEFIANCE<\/p>\n

Look at those politicians,
\nLegalizing sin after sin,
\nEven some Republicans,
\nFoolishly are taken in.<\/p>\n

Defying God\u2019s holy Laws,
\nDaring to spit in His face,
\nPaving the way to Hell,
\nWhat a terrible disgrace.<\/p>\n

They have no fear of God,
\nHis Word they just ignore,
\nThinking they know better,
\nThey\u2019re rotten to the core.<\/p>\n

Wickedness fills our land,
\nFleshly lust is now king,
\nBut they all fail to realize,
\nDivine Wrath it will bring.<\/p>\n

The Lord is very patient,
\nAnd life is His true desire,
\nBut if we refuse to repent,
\nHe\u2019ll cast us into the fire.<\/p>\n

Chastisement will come,
\nHis rod we may soon feel,
\nTo purge us of our sins,
\nAnd our nation to heal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
