Who Will Stand For Me

Is there anybody left who will stand up for Me In this God blessed country that's called land of the free Just like it was so long ago when I walked among men I'm still just as willing to forgive your every sin But I have to tell you it's worse now than before Yet I still stand outside your heart and knock gently at your door Of course I will not force Myself to make My home in you But if you will give Me a chance you'll see My word is true This world that I so dearly love is coming to an end When that day comes I wonder will I still have any friends I'm not trying to guilt you or make anybody mad But you've given into worldly ways and that really makes Me sad You took Me out of public schools and if that weren't bad enough You've run Me out of government and complain when things are tough I was not created to be played with like some toy I was born to show the world in Me there is true joy There's not much I can say or do to make you understand But what would happen to this world if I removed My hand Yes you have technology with sattelite and phones But when I come to get My church they will not reach My throne My Father knows there will be those I'll have to turn away When you stand before My Father what words will I say Will I then be able to confidently reply "Father this one is My child For their sins I died They were not ashamed of Me now all I have is theirs These are those who stood by Me - they are My true joint heirs!"
