The National Idols
You came from the ends of the earth,
And have been molded since your birth;
God called you from distant places,
Each one of you He embraces.
You are His servant and chose you,
Never neglected to help through;
Do not be afraid He is here,
For casting away any fear.
Never be intimidated,
Your deeds are appreciated;
God will be giving you the strength,
To persist at a greater length.
The angered one will be ashamed,
Disgraced as the truth is proclaimed;
Opposition will disappear,
Reduced to nothing from their fear.
Search for foes but you will not find,
Since they will have lost their mind;
Those at war with you will be gone,
Starting a peaceful day at dawn.
You will thresh mountains crush the lust,
Until it turns into a dust;
And hills of sin against the Law,
By turning those hills into straw.
The worldly things that you cherish,
Will be threshed until they perish;
And the wind will carry away,
All the chaff causing you to stray.
So a windstorm will scatter them,
That the Lord would never condemn;
And find peace and joy in the Lord,
While being in one accord.
