The rulers of the earth take heed Kings and leaders remember well Respect the Lord and fear Him in kind Tragedy and ruin happen when we stray from the way When men conspire and plot and scheme Bullets, broken glass and bodies lay Families separated, a world in pain happy days a distant dream There are those who serve money, popularity, fame, possessions Other worldly things But none can wholly satisfy no joy will they bring As for me and my house we will serve the Lord Try to live a life that resembles your love freely poured Those who serve the Lord and fear Him are richly blessed indeed And those who lose themselves in the Lord, find themselves more free Happy are they who take refuge in the Lord and seek shelter in his arms
