Raise up Men and Women of Character
Lord,
Where are Your mighty men—Your men of old?
Those who want to serve from a willing heart—
Never for sordid gain, exploiting the helplessly weak.
Why are men like these missing from our public life?
Where are the women of rectitude and honor?
Women who would rather die than dishonor Your name?
Why do we have to settle for representation that can do
Nothing more than lead by doing what seems expedient,
Seeking wisdom from popularity polls rather than from Your will?
These miscreants smile reassuringly, always playing the role,
But in their calculating hearts they seek nothing more
Than personal fame and fortune—all at public expense.
Their duplicity is astounding, as they seek an advantage
Over those they have sworn to serve and to protect.

We are being led by the Son of Arrogance—a man who serves
A false god—a god who loves terror, debasement, and carnage.
Smiling and personable, this narcissistic miscreant never serves.
Instead, he chooses to rape the land of wealth from generations past,
Never giving, while haughtily bestowing favors upon the unworthy.
Showing no regard for You—our benefactor since our founding,
Or for the desire of women—the Son of Arrogance champions perversion,
Contemptuously calling right wrong, much to the delight of misguided fools.
Because he is a coward, cringing before all except Your children,
Our influence throughout the world has atrophied appreciably,
As his false god marches through Europe, while greedily eyeing America.

When will it be enough, Lord? When will You lift Your mighty hand
And stir Your people from the foolishness of their lethargy?
There are so few of us who are willing to stand and be counted.
Instead, there are a vast number who call on Your name but who
Are willing to endure this relentless Evil, choosing to play it safe.
Oh how I loathe the dishonor they bring upon Your name.
Choosing to be nice rather than opting to be resolute,
They make excuses for the Son of Arrogance and his wickedness—
Never standing against the false truths of Progressivism.
They willfully deceive themselves, believing all will be well
Because they sing pleasant melodies of praise to You in church.

They fool themselves, but they cannot fool You, Lord.
We do not deserve to be spared from our years of abandoning You.
We have brought about our demise and are without excuse.
We have willfully abandoning what is right for more than a generation.
Our children believe they are entitled, which makes them weak.
None are prepared for the days of bleakness that lie ahead,
Nor have they forged the character necessary to be resilient in adversity.
Without the active intervention of Your Holy Spirit, we have no hope.
But, in Your Sovereignty, You can spare us . . . if You choose to do so.
Will You, Lord? Will You spare us for the sake of the faithful few?
