America Needs a Godly Foundation

We Need A Godly Foundation!

Very seldom do I hear 
 any complaints.
Regarding the lacking
of godly restraints.

It seems like many are under
 some kind of a "spell."
What's right or wrong? 
 Many can't even tell!

Where are the godly leaders
 this nation needs?
As the heart of this nation continually bleeds.

Many pastors provide
very little discretion.
Pretending to be "Godly" ... 
no godly direction!

No wonder many people don't 
know what to believe.
A lifestyle of lying, drugs and
 sex is what they achieve.

In their lives, they have 
no "godly boundary."
Many carrying a load of "dirty laundry."

To those of you who want 
satisfaction and victory too...
There is a "godly compass" 
that's freely offered to you!

This "godly compass," 
is God's word!  A solid foundation!
Which speaks of HIS love
 and his gift of salvation!

If you’re in a direction,
with no true meaning.
It's in the direction of Jesus 
you need to be leaning!

You don't have to live in 
emptiness and defeat.
Jesus' grace and love will 
make your life complete!
