I read my Bible and I understand about Heaven
I know how we get through those pearly gates
Good works alone won’t get that done
The only way there is through God’s grace
I understand that others were born elsewhere
Not everyone read the King James
What I can’t bring myself to comprehend
Is from where we think morality came
Most people believe in law and order
But they deny historical and religious facts
Much confusion about the 1st Amendment
Without respect all that remains is abstract
Separation of Church and State not codified in our Constitution
The term was referenced by Jefferson in a letter
Prevented a secular government from being established
And government from deciding whose beliefs better
Our nation was founded on God’s laws
You can’t pretend religions have no place
Without morality there would be anarchy
It all goes back to His grace
