Some people just won't listen,
To the message I share today,
So deceived by their politics,
But that will not save the day.

They place their faith in a man,
Believing it's the right solution,
Such thoughts are misguided,
They will not bring resolution.

All the problems in the nation,
Can't be fixed by passing laws,
We need to look much deeper,
There is really a spiritual cause.

We have turned away from God,
His commandments cast aside,
We chose our own foolish way,
The Bible is no longer our guide.

There's so much sin & rebellion,
We have defied God to His face,
It should not come as a surprise,
If we're removed from our place.

Changing leaders will not do it,
If our hearts remain the same,
National repentance is needed,
If we wish to reignite the flame.

But so much darkness abounds,
Many people resist God's light,
They revel in working their evil,
And they much prefer the night.

Exactly what is it going to take,
To bring people to their knees?
It is my hope you understand,
And are one who really sees.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
