More Than a Request

If you know what's good for you,

You will not go into another war,

You will sit back, repent and serve 

The one and only Lord.

You will not have a rebel government,

Who will not better the nation,

Who will not turn to God,

For any hope of salvation.

Obey God!

Obey your God!

This is not hateful speech,

It is the gospel we preach,

That you should hear,

In joy you'd cheer.

God has sent you

Warning after warning

To quit butting into things,

But you keep on carrying your pride,

Instead of recoiling.

My God, is there no humility

In this whole people?

No wonder why we're so in debt,

Our structures are so feeble.

Obey God!

Obey your God!

This is not hateful speech,

But God's warnings we preach

That you should hear,

Be of good cheer.

Instead of looking to Him

For timely guidance,

You ignore Him

With all your might and

Instead of heeding His warnings,

You set yourselves up for mourning

And distress!

It's such a mess, but it wouldn't be

If you obey God!

Obey your God!

Listen to His warnings of the siege,

Repent and He'll prevent disease,

Please listen here

Oh God, we fear.

You should hear this,

Be of good cheer.
