A Pledge to Pray

Inauguration Day reveals
that campaign wounds may soon be healed
as hopes for the economy
inspire common goals.

While millions pause to take a look,
our President will palm a book
and swear that he would execute
his job with faithfulness.

And so we pledge to pray for him
as he preserves, protects, defends
a Constitution that in turn
defines what's just and true.

The White House or Your House

Who's moving in the White House
doesn't really matter much.
God's more concerned with who is living
in your house... and such.

A house that has inhabitants
who start each day in prayer
will help protect our much-loved land
from evil acts of terror.

A godly man and woman
who bravely take a stand
impact our nation's character
far more than just one man.

If in our homes faith's not divorced
from public policy,
God has the means to bring about
the ends He longs to see.

So if your choice for president
did not survive his fight,
remember it's your house that counts
far more than one that's White.
