STAND ON THE WORD OF GOD

Nightly subconscious worries flutter in the dark
Whispers of financial ruin pull at my resting heart
Maniacal government poachers, are looking for the quick kill
Destroying innocent families, ignoring the blood they spill
Property values are in the toilet, gas prices tip the scales
Money is less and tighter; soon all our finances will fail

Whatever happened to brotherhood?  
When we looked to give others a hand

Whatever happened to unity?
We held each other so we all could stand

I am simmering in my cauldron; my hope dies in the night
With little faith to stoke my fire; I feel I am losing the light
My children are hungry; I work hard but it’s never enough
Obama's program gave me a cell; it keeps my family in touch
Everyone is struggling; the countries dissidence is on the rise
It seems Congress no longer cares if any of us survive

Yet, I will not lose my hope in God; he has kept us all this time
When prices go up and down he retains my peace of mind
Somewhere in the bible it says: The Just shall live by faith!"
I know this to be true; God has not taken us for sake
So if brotherhood is gone and no one will lend a hand
If the unity of man blows away like the fleeting sand
Lean on the word of God, it is stronger then any man
His mercy is dependable; with his power you can stand
