America's Destiny

As Trump and Hillary steal the show
People praise and worship God's own foes
We know what scripture states of the rich man
As Hillary spreads hate and divides the land

Many stand in lines to get their picture
To sin against God, the world so eager
Scripture warns of the dangers and woes
To take no part in evil, yet evil seeds they sew

As the crowds grow large and people cheer
In the midst must be my Savior so dear
For only He is deserving of all this praise
To my disappointment, to man, hands are raised

Since when did man become the savior of many
As the world applause and signs their destiny
God sent us someone that He could work through
But the enemy was chosen by more than a few

Abortions, homosexuals, sin are the choice at the polls
Yet the greed of dollar will cost many souls
I will never understand this world's passion for greed
As God has promised to meet our each and every need

What lies ahead for our great nation
Chaos, destruction and devastation 
While many flock to the world's spotlight
Jesus behind the scenes ready for flight

Many caught up in this crazy election 
Instead of praying and asking for direction
As the world is blinded by sins dazzling lights
Jesus will come as a thief in the night

Few will be caught up while many will stay
As the God of their choice they chose to obey
The rich man, feminist and world left behind
Scripture was there as they ignored all the signs

At this moment God's grace still lingers near
Yet many will reject with greed and through fear
They will turn from His grace and mercy once more
As they turn to carnal man to feel safe and secure

Time is running out, oh how I wish my people could see
God does not work through evil, evil nailed Him to the tree
It is in God we must place all of our trust
As we lay down our worries, greed and lust

No carnal man can save a nation of evil
Only God has the power to save our people
I pray the world turns to God before it is too late
Before death and destruction becomes our fate
