Analysis of Submission to Authority
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Be subject for the Lord’s sake,
To every institution;
Ever mindful to be awake,
To bureau legislation.
Whether it is king or queen,
Prime minister or chairman;
What has been bestowed on them,
Authority of God’s plan.
Governors praise who do good,
And punish who do evil;
Congress to do what they should,
Set laws against the devil.
For this is the will of God,
Silencing the ignorance;
Foolish people become flawed,
For the lack of endurance.
We must live as free people,
But not for cloaking malice;
Rather as a disciple,
To ensure righteous justice.
Honor all men and women,
Showing love in brotherhood;
Fear God all times and again,
Honor onto the power stood.
