As The Nations Rage

As the nations rage,
Plot and scheme,
They think not of heaven,
And the One they should esteem.

Yahweh rules the heavens;
On the earth His feet rest.
He does as He pleases,
And He knows what is best.

For those who hold power,
It would be well,
To fear God in heaven,
While they on earth dwell.

Nothing we have,
Is really our own.
We receive all from Yahweh,
In heaven enthroned.

He cast down the serpent,
Who once dwelled above.
What tyrant on earth,
Will not be so shoved?

Scoff as they may,
And sneer as they might,
The King of kings reigns,
And will set things right.

Those who hate justice,
And love to take bribes,
Are being watched closely,
By heavenly scribes.

For there is a list,
Of life and of death.
We’ll all have to answer,
For our use of Life’s breath.

For all who trust Jesus,
Our sin is washed away.
But all who have scorned Him,
Will for their deeds pay.

Don’t profit from death,
Feed not on men’s blood.
The wrath of our God,
Will descend like a flood.

Bow down you leaders,
And kiss God’s own Son.
Else you’ll face justice,
For all that you’ve done.

No one is perfect,
Save Jesus alone,
But the High King of heaven,
Has to us grace shown.

All of us here,
Have received from God too.
Let us be faithful,
To give Him His due.

We are all stewards,
Of what we possess.
Let us by His Spirit,
Never justice suppress.

Show love to all;
Speak true and act kind.
Let us live always,
With Jesus in mind.

As the world shakes around us,
As corruption grows rife,
We rejoice that King Jesus,
Will soon end all strife.
