Looking For Hope

Some looking for hope in simply a man, from one sharply divided land,
Now divided by morals and race; a land that slipped from God’s Grace,
With many souls burdened in care, some have now slipped into despair,
Now looking for a way and a hope, to help their faltering nation to cope.

Misguided hope leads many astray, seeking not God’s, but, man’s way,
Looking through ways of compromise, for issues that have and will rise,
With bigger issues the more we fall, further from The Lord who made all,
The Sovereign Lord over the man, who’s setting forth his changing plan.

With expectation beyond all belief, to bring a nation much needed relief,
All cast onto the shoulders of that one, before his term has even begun.
A task beyond just a simple test, and without God is impossible at best,
Especially as the nation has ignored, the biblical foundation of our Lord.

With all morality a thing of the past, his influence, less God, will not last.
Even though one recognizes Him, as a leader sanctions unmitigated sin,
God’s Righteous Judgment will prevail, while compromising policies fail,
Leaving many followers mystified, when promises and hopes go denied.

This man is not the Messiah, my friend, and all shall see that, in the end,
As many continue struggling to cope, some will see Christ is their Hope,
And lifting a man is futile at best, as a follower of Christ is truly blessed,
So look not down here but above, to be filled with God’s hope and love.
