Homeland Insecurity

Never safe    always afraid    insecurity reigns
Police and fire sirens sound all night and day
There's trouble again in the neighborhood
Wonder what happened to just being good?

Sin in the city climbs and criminals rage
Even when they're caught liberal judges 
                                          let them walk away
Jails are full of awful people...people with souls
We need to reach them before this world goes

Just "practicing" religion is really not the way
It's time to stop practicing and start being a saint
Repent!  because the kingdom of God is at hand
It's time to kneel and pray....then get up and make a stand

       Stand therefore so you will hear God's trumpet sound
       Remember:  where sin does abound:  God's grace
                                                   does much more abound!
