in these remaining days, let us not be tangled in

mankind's celebration of itself

rather, let us live as children of God

for what fellowship hath light and darkness

good with evil?

shall grace be as pearls to swine

or held higher than gold?

let them know the difference

keep your signs - hold your banners yourself

send no "latest cause" this way

need no factions, political distractions

keep them out of my face

spare the fashion codes and social pars

and the vanity of it all

to subscribe would be to sell-out

and to set up for a fall

can't you see the road you travel down

leads swiftly to your end

sold as slaves for a place to hide

a temporary defense

then he'll come, all will be lost

you'll be swept with the tide, your shelter of clay

he's calling, protection is here

your grip will not hold when your world's laid to waste

Lord, grant me the strength, to follow your path

to not go astray i, alone in myself

I'm feeling the pull, Lord, grant me the strength

once again breathing down my neck

the smell of the generous leach

the liberating hypocrite

come to save, to teach, to preach

to save me from my slavery

from a God who doesn't know what's best

look - keep your rebellion to yourself

you don't know me, my God, or the life I live

not a patriot, revolutionist

not a left or right wing voice

don't need a liberal or conservative

to tell me about freedom of choice

my freedom comes from God above

forgiveness beyond comprehension

stregth not found in earthly powers

the only true deliverance
