Leading

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)



What's All this nonsense talking to us today,
Telling us lies and leading us astray.

With slogans like: equality,equal rights, climate change,

And other delights.

Telling us to forget about God.

Follow us!

You silly sod.

All the tricks and games they play,

The fruits of which are on display.


This is what brings the whole world down,

 Look at me!

I want the crown.

He is gracious, but his wrath will come.

Pouring out fury for what it's become.

The church says,  "have no doubt!"

Believe in him, and he'll lift us out.

Has the grace message lead us astray?
.
For all of our works will be judged on the day...

Nothing is hidden,

All laid out.

Tested with fire.

Have no doubt.
