In God We Trust

Mankind is being watched, don’t let down your guard.
A new world is coming and it’s going to come hard.

Life as we know it will forever be changed.
Protect your house and home from the evil and deranged.

We must keep our hearts open and learn from our past.
The sun will return, this long night will not last.

As we walk through the valley patrolled by the reaper.
It’s time to step up and be your brother’s keeper.

With thy rod and thy staff, our faith keeps us strong.
In the shadows of death, with you we belong.

Never again will we fear evil in the night.
With God in our corner, we will fight the good fight.

Evil and tyranny will be laid in their grave.
They will never defeat the home of the brave.

The grass will stay green in the land of the free.
Our trust is in God, and it always will be.

Amen, brother Mark. Trust and obey, for there's no other way ... There is peace in the soul of those that know the way the story ends. Bless you and your poetry. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

I certainly hope you are right, Mark, for I do sense the presence of very evil forces. I think I live safely in this small town, but I keep my eyes open. I am thankful every day that I do not live in a large city where I would be frightened walking down a street. Thanks for this poem, Mark.

Thanks Milton, I live in the country with nothing for miles. I do have an Air Force base 28 miles away. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad

Faith is blind trust in things not seen. If we trust in God's Word, we'll have it, and it will carry us through dark times of pestilence and tyranny until He says, "Enough." Then, HIS new world will welcome all those who believed in His promises.
