First introduced by God to Noah
the rainbow stands for diversity
for tolerance, for compassion
though today the last two
seem out of fashion
Leave it to a 'fanatic right-winger'
like Mr. Itamar Ben-Gvir
to remind us all, in Jerusalem or here
of heavenly values we all should hold dear
We Need to Believe God's Word!
As we watch the daily news.
We hear about different stories
and views.
I can't help but to wonder
when some complain.
Their beliefs aren’t "accepted,"
but "contained."
Much of what others say,
brings a concern...
When it comes to God's word.
Many have their ears turned.
Many will speak of
"tolerance" in their living...
It’s their view, that they’re giving.
If you disagree with them.
You're called a "right winger."
While they march to the
"same drum beat and singer."
I don't mean to spread a picture
of "doom and gloom."
But a "day of judgment" is
coming very soon!
God's word... Which many ignore...
Will be the "compass."
When God
comes knocking at your door.
What will your words be,
when God calls your name?
Will you come to him.
Or just complain?
You'll be by yourself at
God's judgment day?
When your name is called.
What will you say?
God's word says; "My love for
you will never end."
Allow his word to guide you...
And be your friend!

Are We Looking For Man’s Opinion? Or God’s Truth?
I often watch the daily news.
And hear about different opinions
and different views.
I can't help but to wonder
when some complain.
That their opinion
isn’t being explained.
Many of the opinions shared,
bring to me a concern...
When it comes to God's word.
Many have their backs turned.
While often, they speak of
tolerance in their living...
Only their opinion...
Is what they’re giving.
If you disagree with them.
You're called a "right winger."
While they march to the
same drum beat and singer.
I don't mean to spread a picture
of doom and gloom.
But a day of reckoning is
coming very soon!
God's word... Which many ignore...
Will bring judgment, when God
comes knocking at your door.
What will "your view" be when
God calls your name?
Will you come to him.
Or will you complain?
You'll be by yourself at
God's judgment day.
When your name is called.
What will you say?
God's view is: "My love for
you will never end."
Allow his word to guide you!
And to be your friend!

Highest expectations lightly linger,
not forgotten, the extreme right winger.
