Changes God's Way





                  




Changes God's Way
By George Thurlow
 

Not through political promise
And new confounded schemes,
Programs, plans and projects
That are not what they seem.

Not through new higher taxes,
Lowered standards, special rights,
Not through the separation
Of America from the Light.

Not by extermination
Of the innocent so young:
Not by silencing her people
By censure of the tongue.

But changes through repentance
Brings change from inside out;
No other way is possible
To bring true change about.

For the heart of man is deceitful
Full of wicked ways,
Selfish and rebellious
Wanting its own way.

Change only comes with humbling
Ourselves on bended knee
And saying, "God forgive me
For offending thee".

Yes changes only God's way
Will get our course set right...
So that the city set upon the hill
Again will shine her light.

                                     2 Chronicles 7:14King James Version (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
