Rulers

“Rulers”
(Tom Entrican 4/2022)
 
Since days of old the rulers led and few have had concern
For those who toil and suffer are those they like to burn
Without compassion rulers pierce the ones they fear the most
Until that One who came to save, the One we love the most
 
They set upon the lowly who have little left to give
And trample them into the ground, and still the poor forgive
For they are taught to turn a cheek seven times seven
This is the will of Him who sits at His right hand in Heaven
 
Rulers rule and rulers bomb until they get their way
They conquer land and conquer soles then throw it all away
But in the rising smoke we see the remnant not dismayed
For they keep looking up to see if He returns today
 
Mighty rulers press the backs of the meek into the ground
And dance upon the children’s graves ‘til little hope is found
But God has set a path for them who’s hearts have turned to stone
Where they will spend eternity, no peace for them alone
 
This world will offer rulers who inflict pain undeserved
They think that they are mightier than Him to whom we serve
For we shall hold onto our hopes and prayers for that last day
Knowing Jesus conquered death so we could all be saved
 
We set aside a day of thanks for Him we know has risen
While rulers set about to steal the blessings He has given
No matter what they do to us in praise to Him we sing
And patiently await the day, for death has lost its sting

      Amen indeed. When I use his word as my guide, the words fall into place.
