When nations stray from paths the Lord has laid,
Their hearts grow cold, their laws twist into chains,
Unrighteous ways invite a bitter blade,
And prideful towers crumble on the plains.
The God who spoke the stars into their flight,
Whose word upholds the mountains and the seas,
Is scorned by those who chase the fleeting night,
Trading His truth for hollow vanities.
Corruption festers where His name is banned,
While mercy fades from rulers’ iron hands,
The land grows barren, cursed by wayward man.
Yet blessed are they who heed His firm commands,
For nations built on Christ, the Rock, shall stand,
Their peace secured by Heaven’s sovereign plans.
