Follow THE Example Be AN Example
A meditation, Poem, and Plea for our country, by Bob Frengel
(These lyrics God has also given me a song for, which I will publish separately. But if they speak to you and you hear a song, please contact me to share.)
Verse 1
How do we end
Division in our land
This anger that cuts us in two
The hate that begins
With a view we can't stand
That clogs our ears, from hearing any truth
Chorus 1
Follow THE Example
And BE AN Example
Listen for the Truth, of God's Heart
For God so loved this world
That He came down to earth
To BE THE Example for us
Verse 2
How do we end
This dirge in our land
This darkness that covers our heart
The view that begins
With the color of one's skin
That cuts us, and rips us apart
Chorus 2
Follow THE Example
And Be AN Example
Speak out the Truth, with God's Love
For God so loved this world
That He came down to earth
To BE THE Example for us
Verse 3
How do we end
This scourge in our land
This blindness that covers our soul
The fear that begins
With a ViewPointed Lens
That keeps our land from becoming whole
Chorus 3
Follow THE Example
Be AN Example
Proclaim the Truth, with God's Love
For God so loved this world
That He came down to earth
To BE THE Example for us
Verse 4
How DO_WE quell this fear
That blocks us to hear
That gentle voice when God calls to us
We_must blot out that yell
From the demons of hell
Who twist our hurt, to burn injustice
Chorus 4
Follow THE Example
Be AN Example
LIVE out the Truth, of God's Love
For God so loved this world
That He sent His only Son
To BE God's Example for us
