There are so many things
which divide us as a nation, as a people, and as the children of God. We are
divided by hatred, violence, political affiliation, denomination, race,
religion, social status, culture, belief systems, etc. We are also divided by
greed, love of power, idolatry, spiritual and physical adultery, wars of men,
lies, deceptions, manipulations, betrayal, and rejection of Christ and of his
followers, and by false prophets and teachers of the people, and false gospels
of men, etc.
This song is a call to leave
our idols, our desires for wealth and power, and the things which divide us as
a people of God that are not of God, such as hatred, unforgiveness, pride,
adultery, and all that is called sin in the Bible. We are to turn from our
sins, and we are to make the Lord Jesus Christ the Lord and master of our
lives, choosing to walk with him in full surrender to his will for our lives
and in obedience to his commands.
A People Divided
An Original Work / July 4,
2011
Flick’ring torches; hatred;
violence;
Crashing windows; guns of
men;
We are a people divided
By our love of pow’r and
fame.
Idols marching; they’re in
chorus;
Their goal to destroy the
church,
Tempting us to follow them in
Pure devotion; them we
search.
Leave your idols. Follow your
God.
Make Him your Lord God and
King.
Be a living witness for Him,
And your off’rings to Him
bring.
Repent of your sins and
worship Him.
A living sacrifice,
Put your all upon His altar.
Leave your old life way
behind.
Flick’ring torches; hatred;
violence;
Crashing windows; guns of
men;
We are a people divided
By our love of pow’r and
fame.
