Trust Not In Princes
Do not put your trust in princes
For they are mortal men.
When their spirit departs
They return to the dust again.
Their plans come to nothing
For their hope’s not in the Lord
The Maker of heaven and earth;
No eternal life they’ve scorned.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem
He gathers the exiles from abroad.
Heals the broken hearted;
A new life of peace to be scored.
His understanding has no limits;
He sustains the humble not proud.
Casts the wicked to the ground
For to Satan they’ve bowed.
He’s revealed His word to Jacob;
Provided laws and decrees.
Trust not in mortal princes;
He’ll bring them to their knees.
Trust rather in God’s promises
Given freely to all men.
For He will uphold the saints;
Set all prisoners free again.
The Bible is your roadmap
Provides your basic instruction.
Before leaving earth
This is the saints’ induction.
Its living words will change you
When by faith you act;
According to its principles;
Trust no earthly princes’ pact.
