Monkey Business

From: The office of Spritual Advisor
Re: God And Country

The 600 pound gorilla in the room
has a name and is coming real soon

They can jive and pussyfoot around
but most folks know He's coming to town

Everything He said is now coming true
at least to soldiers like me and you

They cant hear those four horsemen running
everything they bring has already come in

Can we send those four horsemen back?
Yes sir mister, that's a fact!

The 600 pound gorilla's still in the room
I think He's waiting for an answer from you



Now this aint easy
for some it's too hard

We know about the gorilla
we just can't  call him lord

What do you do when you 
have a problem like this

One simple answer
you put Him to the test

To put you in office we stood in lines very long
Don't make a mistake and let our country go wrong

From Washington to Bush the message is still faith
so don't give up on God's unfailing grace

The beginning of that faith may be hard
but it will start with these words
"So help me God."
