In God Do We Trust

If In God that we trust Then tell me, why don't we, Those words just turn to rust And then become so lonely and empty. We say that this we will do But, of course we don't, We speak them as those words are true But, to practice them we won't. When we carry a knife or even a gun We prove that we have no faith in God, And when a victory by us is won Does the Lord even get our thanks or even a nod. We say and preach those faithful words And we see them almost everywhere, But, then they fly away like startled birds When another person's shoes we tear. Many will walk frightened down the street Tell me, where is that trust, Their faith is then in their own two feet As a uncertainty enters like a wind's gust. Our lives could be so honest and believed If our words were truly a must, If the Holy Spirit and faith we had received Then we could honestly say, in God we trust. Randy L. McClave
