UNITY of CHURCH and STATE
Is it the church's role to be in political campaigns,Doesn't it appear conflicting, and are not such efforts vain?
Actively campaigning attempting to legislate beliefs,
Conflicting with constitutional rights, one of future grief.
Cleriges intervention in political affairs,
Unite church and state much closer in each passing year,
Pagan customs and practices, a strong influence in today's beliefs,
Much delight to the arch deciever and pagan in chief.
Religious involvement in church matters history has shown,
Orchestrated persecution by government and thrones,
Kings and leaders making the laws to keep others in line,
Telling you when to go to church and worship is not fine.
For it is a well known fact during the Reformation times,
When Church leaders sensored Luther with such crimes,
Of blasphemy and deceit when he challenged Rome,
Reformers were being punished and banished from their homes.
So this is not a time to accept church and state,
A union conflicting and one that's in debate,
The time is fast approaching that such freedoms be no more,
To choose the way you worshipped as our fathers did before.
Churchmen of influence and powerful men of faith,
God is one of choices and not one of hate,
He give us the freedom to our leader choose,
For a forced religion there is no excuse.
Do not force me how to worship, framing your beliefs,
Your time of domination will be very brief,
Political involvement in religious affairs,
Is an indication that the Master's coming's near.
Conflicting are opinions, that men of faith should lead,
Their flocks to pay allegiance to loyal men of greed,
Men of faith should encourage, and clergymen should seek,
In pointing them to the Saviour, and strengthening the week.
