How Can A Christian Nation?

by Matthew Christopher Coover, 6/1/2002


They have knocked down your towers
    Your symbols of pride
Fathers, mothers, and children
    You must avenge the blood
Of those who have died.

            Yet the blood of your offspring
                Is poured out each each day
            On the alter of education.
                They perish in Satan’s schools
            Forbidden to pray.

                        How can a Christian nation
                            Be supporting Satan’s war?
                        For wealth and fame,
                            And to their shame
                        Made out as rich, yet they are poor.
                            How can a Christian nation
                        Be supporting Satan’s war?
 

You must capture Bin Laden
    Either dead or alive
Crushing Afghanistan’s leaders
    You say that they must pay
The price for their crime.

            Meanwhile your own people
                Are dying in sin
            From adultery, drugs and tobacco
                Their souls and their spirits from
            Corruption within.

                        How can a Christian nation
                            Be supporting Satan’s war?
                        For wealth and fame,
                            And to their shame
                        Made out as rich, yet they are poor.
                            How can a Christian nation
                        Be supporting Satan’s war?
 

Marriage is not a plaything
    And yet your promise
Has meant no more than a lie
    Going against reason
You have committed treason
    Against Yahweh God
And for your crimes you must die.

            How can a Christian nation
                Be supporting Satan’s war?
            For wealth and fame,
                And to their shame
            Made out as rich, yet they are poor.
                How can a Christian nation
            Be supporting Satan’s war?

                        A truly Christian nation
                            Would make their election sure.
                        Regarding fame as sinful shame
                            They’d leave their riches and be poor
                        A truly Christian nation
                            Would not, could not,
                        Be supporting such a war.
