SOMETIMES GOD WORKS IN AMAZING WAYS
HIS MANY WONDERS TO DISPLAY
SO THAT ALL CAN SEE THEM
LATELY HE\u2019S BEEN USING ALL HIS MIGHTY FORCE
TO MAKE HIS MESSAGE BRIGHT AS DAY
WREAKING HIS HAVOC RIGHTEOUSLY HERE AND YONDER
GIVING THE SMACK TO THE SLACK
RAINING HIS RETRIBUTION DOWN ON THE FAITHLESS
MAKING THEM PLEAD TO COME BACK
HEAPING SOULS ON PYRES PILED SMOKING SKYWARD
NEVER CEASING
FIERCE POLICING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAY YOU DON\u2019T LIKE BLACKS OR BROWNS OR PINKS
OR YELLOWS COLORING YOUR LAND
HERE\u2019S ADVICE THAT\u2019S HANDY
PRAY GOD ERASE THEM WITH NO TRACE
FROM YOUR SPACE
SOON HE\u2019LL PLOUGH THEM UNDER
HE\u2019LL UNLEASH THE THUNDER
FROM HIS HOLY PALACE
HIGH IN THE SKY
HE WILL DESTROY THEM
JUST PRAY
AND SAY TO DYING MEN
TO STOP THEIR CRYING
FOR GOD\u2019S WILL CAN\u2019T BE DENIED
HE\u2019S OUR GUIDE
AND HIS JUDGMENT IS SUBLIME
CHOOSING HIS TIME
ALWAYS THERE ON OUR SIDE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR ALL THE GOOD AND ALL THE EVIL THINGS THAT HAPPEN
ALL OF THE GLADNESS AND GRIEF
WHETHER YOUR LIFE BRINGS YOU JOY OR UNENDING SORROW
NO NEED TO CHANGE YOUR BELIEF
THIS PRONOUNCEMENT SERVES TO COVER ALL OCCASIONS
IT IS GOD\u2019S WILL
LET GOD\u2019S WILL BE DONE
HIS WILL IS PERFECT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IF YOU CAN\u2019T WAIT FOR HIS HAND TO STRIKE
AND YOU\u2019RE IMPATIENT WITH DELAY
YOU CAN TAKE SOME ACTION
CLAIM THAT YOU\u2019VE BECOME THE CHOSEN ONE
HIS SERVANT
GOD\u2019S CRUSADING SOLDIER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLAIM YOU\u2019VE SEEN THE WRITING
BLESSING YOU FOR SMITING
SAY YOU GOT THE ORDER
TELLING YOU TO MURDER
IT\u2019S SO THRILLING
AND FULFILLING
CHANNELING GOD\u2019S WILL<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
