For me it is no longer a question,
It is a statement.
Jesus, You’re coming back soon.
Any second now The Father
Will look at You and say,
“Go bring Our people home.”
It won’t be long.
It won’t be long.
Those who don’t believe in You,
Who cling to man-made gods,
They have killed Believers in You,
Since You were here, Jesus,
Even when You were here.
Lately, they’ve escalated.
Twenty-one beheaded.
Twenty-one beheaded.
Used to think, oh, never here
Not here in America
The land of the brave,
The land of the free.
Can’t think that anymore, Lord.
‘Cause America has slipped.
It’s not “In God we trust”.
It’s not “In God we trust”.
Our president makes You a mockery,
He makes America a mockery,
Our lawmakers have little restraint
Votes up for the highest bid
So little, so little respect for the original,
And less for Christianity
Less for morals and values.
Less for morals and values.
And our hands aren’t clean, I know Lord.
We embraced slavery, waited too long
To become involved in
World War II
Waiting for millions of Jews and others
To be executed.
No, we’re not innocent.
No, we’re not innocent.
But I confess Lord, I didn’t expect,
That things would be like this.
Jesus, I never imagined Americans,
Would be so far from You,
Would be so confused,
Could be so blinded to think,
“Wrong is right.
Wrong is right.”
Before America became, Lord
There were the Crusades
And piety and slavery
Keeping Your Word
Out of the hands of
We the common man.
It’s hard to deny.
It’s hard to deny.
You’re going to judge us soon, Jesus.
Each one of us, Lord,
On our own deeds,
On our own lives,
On our own hearts.
Too late, nearly too late,
No more time to waste,
You’re coming soon, Jesus.
You’re coming soon, Jesus.
We’ve been looking for You a long time.
Thousands of years now.
Jesus, I’m longing for You.
Even as I know I face judgment,
Even as I prostrate myself with shame,
I know I’ll also hear,
“Welcome home.
Welcome home.”
