The Downfall of King Solomon

THE DOWNFALL OF KING SOLOMON Great King Solomon, wisest of the rulers of Israel, The favored son of King David, who was beloved of our God, Did fall from grace in his old age, Though God suffered him for years. He warned him and He warned him, That his actions would bring tears. Solomon's wealth and power, Were known both far and wide, And kings from other countries, Brought their daughters for his brides. But God said,"Solomon be wise, Send them away from you, For they are vile before My eyes, And all their daughters too. If you accept them in My son, Their sins will be on you." But Solomon paid the Lord no mind, He welcomed those kings in, Made pacts, alliances and deals, Ignoring grievous sins, Committed by these kings and queens, Acts that God abhorred, And took unto him concubines, And wives before the Lord. Women that God told him, Were unclean before His eyes, And that they'd bring their gods with them, So strong would be their ties, That Israel would follow them, And he would fall from grace, And that's just how it happened, That Solomon lost face. Seven hundred took he them, And even their gods too. He let them build their temples, And went in with them too. His heart was turned away from God, By the company he kept. He followed other gods with them, And God, Himself, wept. That's what's happening here today, They're coming here in droves, Fleeing from oppression, That their way of life enclosed. They say our God offends them, And we shouldn't honor Him, Well their god offends me too, So the same is just for them. They wish to take away from us, The very thing they seek, Denying us our freedoms, Our own laws have made us weak. We are infidels to them, And of little consequence, They'll change our laws and change our God, I say it don't make sense. We'll fall from grace like Solomon, Lose all that we hold dear, Our freedom gone, we'll lose our land, Then hide and quake in fear. 1Kings 10-11 Judy Ball WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFE Y'ALL!!!
