Downfall

When a nations soldiers start to rebel,

The nations next is a fall to hell.

Some soldiers rebel because of their greed,

Others rebel because of their need.

Then others rebel because of the sin,

The great nation has involved them in.

Their leaders have told them time and again,

That fame and fortune will they win,

While their pagan idols would forgive their sins.

Each nation thinks they have the right,

To do with force and all their fight,

To quell the world with all their might.

While little do the understand,

That love will conquer all the land.

If they would just but understand,

The love of the Lord is in their hand.
