What can man say?

religious/political

Is it true Lord? Can the country You gave us...

the country where we roam free
erase Your Word from every base? 

Sandblast every wall Your Word has effaced? 

There is the Liberty Bell that displays Your Word 

and the Statue of Liberty. 

Countless cornerstones cover the land 

proclaiming Your Word for all to see. 

They'll scrape and dig, pound and rub 

every Word, book, chapter and verse 

until there's nothing left but a clean, blank slate

 that will only be filled by man's words. 

What would man say about love 

that the Bible hasn't already said?  

What about Friendship can man add?  

Is there a sacrifice greater than death? 

Can man come up with better ideas 

to make a family whole, 

than God's instructions and intentions 

which never fail if they are followed? 

And what, of all the Proverbs, 

can man improve upon?  

Can man comfort better that Psalms 

when grief and sadness abound? 

What can man say that towers Your Word? 

How can man improve on perfection? 

Does he really believe he knows more than You?  

Take your Word from this world? 

Don't let them! 

How did this happen? It's gone too far! 

What are we witnessing?  

There's a cry slowly rising from Your People, Lord,  

"Only Your Word can set us free". 

Without Your Word, without Your Church, 

we walk into captivity 

at the mercy of God-less, Hell-bent men 

who think freedom means being God-free.
