We pray that you might come to know
There is really just one King,
With perfect mercy and understanding,
And that you seek wisdom from Him--
Not the fables formed of men
Who whisper in your ear,
But the Word of God directly--
No traitor intruding, there.
For if you seek Him, you will find Him--
If you knock, understanding will open up--
And you will recognize the answer
That the Father sent, in love.
Don't fear invading armies--
Turn away from ancient thrones,
And simply follow Jesus
To make eternity your home.
The times are dark, we can't deny
And yet there is a light
That that conquers every blindness,
And breaks the bonds of night.
It seems contrary-- to bend-- we know this,
And yet this is the only way
In a world overtaken by selfish pride
Where delusion rules the day,
For in a moment we are all taken
To death each man succumbs;
The choice remains, for everyone
To bend their knee to Love.
No room remains for greed or power--
Nor hope in men's designs;
Pray for wisdom-- bow to grace--
Seek repentance in these times.
So may the Father's hand be upon you
That you bow and seek His face--
May you recognize the risen Son
And walk within his grace.
