Living in a “king free” country,
we are blessed to follow God.
He gave us forefathers
who believed in obeying His law.
He gave us freedoms
that all others wish for,
and said if we’d trust Him,
He’d always be our Lord.
But nowadays we seem to yearn
to be ruled like other lands.
Just like Israel insulted God,
we want a Saul to replace God’s hand.
How horribly wrong and wicked
to place our trust in man.
We are foolish to hope for the impossible
when God is the God who can!
Lord, help us to keep our eyes and hearts
focused solely on Your reign.
You are the only one we need.
Heaven is our only gain.
