Forsaken Paths

By: J. P.s Inspirations

The heart of Jesus must be broken
when He beholds sin all across this land
as countries forsake the name of the Lord
choosing not to hold to God's righteous and loving hand.

Our nation and others have strayed from the Lord
forsaking many of the truths of God's Word
Choosing to give rights that are wrongs
according to God's Word, these rights are absurd.

It's a sad day for any county
When it accepts what God calls an abomination
yet, many choose to elect men into office
who endorse things that are sinful, in our nation.

When innocent blood is shed
and called part of a woman's rights
we see a land who has strayed from truth and light
into the darkness of the very blackest night.

While sin continues to run rampant
as men and politicians cheat and lie
there are souls all around who are dying
can we not hear their silent cries?

There is only one way to the Lord
this way is narrow and straight
only one path leads to glory
and to the heavenly gates.

Forsaken paths are left behind
as a nation chooses its own ways
not realizing God has only one plan
from which they have gone astray.

The way once walked in by saints of old
has now been compromised
judgments fall upon the land, as people wonder why
but, should we really be surprised?

There will come a day when every knee shall bow
every tongue will confess Jesus Christ
but, on that day it will be too late for some,
will you call upon His holy name now?

One day it will be too late
we'll hear the last trump of our God
will He find you've stood for what is good and the right
in this land which we now trod?

There'll be no more time to consider our ways
on that great judgment day
our nation needs to return to the Lord
while there is still time to call on Him and pray.

United means being as one with God
not just with one another
agreeing with His godly ways
not those of sin, or straying even further.

We need to choose the ways of right
forsaking things the Word of God declares is wrong
only then can we have the blessed assurance
of living with God forever, in His heavenly home.

Remind us, Lord, of where you brought us from
let us realize where we could have been
had you not reached down
and saved our souls from sin.

Let us always follow you in paths of right
until we receive our eternal reward
for it not about what, or who, we know on earth in this life
it's all about knowing God, and abiding in the Lord.

Blessings in Christ,
