In the lives of men move the hand of God
and men are molded thereby;
But their right to choose He does not take.
They choose the low or high.
Thus nations are born and they rise or fall
influenced by His hand.
But the choice is theirs and the fault is theirs
for the destiny of the land.
For men can think and choose and act
of an independent will.
And all will find at the judgement seat
that their deeds are with them still.
Full freedom comes with God’s own laws
in the hearts of righteous men.
And just as surely slavery comes
from Lucifer’s darkened den.
In the council of Gods, before the world,
a choice was made by all.
And the rebel boast of Lucifer’s host
was the cause of their awesome fall.
For a war was fought and the Dragon caught
that freedom still might be.
The way of men as well as Gods,
through all eternity.
As a thunderbolt the vanquished host
fell their Heavenly Place.
Foregoing birth to the mortal earth
to be the scourge of Adam’s race.
But freedom is not license to act
and from consequence be free.
But to obey and keep the faith
and thereby exalted be.
The wage of sin is death and worse;
slavery to Hell’s dark horde.
But the proper use of our agency
attunes us to the Lord.
