As we near the next election, “Christians, vote!” is oft the plea.
“Elect yourselves a godly leader if you want your liberty.”
Is it true, O fellow pilgrims, has Christ promised freedom here?
“On earth you will be persecuted.” Didn’t Jesus make it clear?
We pass through but for a moment and our homeland is above.
Have we not elected Jesus for that country that we love?
Should we really choose a leader who would call our men to war?
Should we rather follow Jesus Who commands to kill no more?
If we truly trust our Father, why elect a mortal man?
God is King o’er all the nations ever since the world began.
If our focus is on heaven and our hearts are over there,
Let us drop earth’s politics and serve this nation with our prayers.
