His Grace

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
