Written In Stone

by Michael D Nalley   Sep 17, 2005


We break laws we must atone
Are the laws written in stone?
Laws are written for to rule
A leader cannot be a fool

Laws leave me so confused
When the power is abused
Are we one nation under God?
Or are we in the land of nod?

With our wrist in a cuff
Have we all had enough?
Pledges made to be spoken
Laws made to be broken

Preach condemnation while Jesus saves
The Sabbath was made for men not slaves
United we stand divided we fall
It is written He died for us all

We break laws we must atone
Are the laws written in stone?
