Habakkuk 2

Then the Lord replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

For Our Nation


War, politics, lies, betrayal, the murdering of innocents, our young men and women in uniform dying on a battle field via men of power; takeovers of nations, sin abounding, the church asleep or complacent for the most part; the gospel diluted, and do we even notice? Through all that is going on in this world of ours, Jesus is gently calling us to Him to make him Lord (master) of our lives. The good news is that God is in absolute control over all things, and he will work it all out for our good. We need to pray much for our nation.


For Our Nation / An Original Work / September 11, 2012

( ) Indicates descant (Soprano)

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
(Jesus Christ is)
Jesus Christ is gently calling
(Gently calling)
You to follow Him in all ways.
(You to follow)
Trust Him with your life today.
(Him in all ways.)
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
(Make Him your Lord)
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
(And your Savior.)
He will forgive you of your sin;
(Turn from your sin.)
Cleanse your heart, made new within.
(Follow Jesus.)

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
(On our knees to)
On our knees to God we’re praying,
(God we’re praying,)
Seeking God to give us answers
(Seeking God to)
That are only found in Him.
(Give us answers.)
God is sovereign over all things.
(God is sovereign)
Nothing from His mind escaping.
(Over all things.)
He has all things under His command,
(He will work all things)
And will work all for good.
(Out for good.)

Men deceiving: we’re believing
(We’re believing)
In our Lord, and interceding
(In our Lord , and)
For our nation and its people
(Interceding)
To obey their God today.
(For our nation.)
He is our hope for our future.
(God is our hope)
For our wounds He offers suture.
(For our future.)
He is all we need for this life.
(He is all we)
Trust Him with your life today.
(Need for this life.)
