TO REACH GOD’S HIGHEST BAR
From His throne in heaven above,
God commanded all to love.
Too often to reach that highest bar,
We must love some from afar.
For the world is so dark with hate and sin,
It’s almost impossible to love some men.
Every time we reach out to try,
They break our hearts and make us cry.
Be it far from me to disobey.
So that is why I’ll always say.
To reach God’s highest bar,
I must love some from afar.

What in the world is the world coming to?
Is God destroying it to make it anew?
Storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, and more:
Trouble looms, it seems, on every shore.
Massive fire engulfs Cali’s land,
Threatening life on every hand.
The KKK, Breitbart and Antifa, too:
Our country is run by an unlikely crew.
A foolish president and all his men
Are setting us years and years back again
Brothers are killing brothers and mothers too.
Government is taking advantage of all you.
The church is not doing the best it can
To destroy sin and save this land.
What in the world is the world coming to.
Is God destroying it to make it anew?
This is my America; you can like it or not.
Given a choice between injustice and grace,
we often choose WRONG with all its shame
Rather than give decency its right place.
This is my America; you can like it or not.
I, on the other hand, like what I’ve got.
Though we fall short in some areas,
We still stand strong, trusted and tall,
For with our many more good points,
We cast a shadow on the rest of them all.
This is my America; you can like it or not.
I, on the other hand, like what I got.
