[hometext] => Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:9
[bodytext] => These shackles these chains, these bruises these scars, These torn garments that hold me together… While the whole world around us tears its self apart. This pain this anguish, this hurt this agony, This insanity that has blinded us all by this vanity. They seek refuge, they teach those who can’t be reached About the boy who became our savior from Galilee They round us up like herd They gather the last of us Those who won’t go quietly. Nations at war, Presidents with no states, Bishops with no pope, Churches with no flocks Kingdoms without monarchy, There is no safe place to hide, No hills to run to, No sky scraping mountains to ask for rocks to fall upon you and me, We have ignored the errors of our ways and have brought upon us this Anarchy. It has been written, we’ve been told…we just didn't listen, These days, these foreboding times… Professed in the book Timothy, Our blind eyes, our deaf ears…have exalted us into iniquity. Seeking the remedy of his divinity We hope for the father, we pray to the son… And ask for the holy ghost. Amen.
