"Mercy and truth preserve the King: and His throne is upholden by mercy" (Proverbs 20:28). "If any man speak... if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 4:11).
Inaugural speeches and loud celebration—
Political leaders acknowledge each other—
The torch has been passed, and the inauguration
Has transitioned power from one to another.
Yet nothing has changed in heaven's opinion:
Christ Jesus is Lord, as all heaven knows.
The heavens declare His praise and dominion,
Inaudibly, though, to all who oppose.
Pray for the president coming to power.
Ask for God's mercy that he may succeed,
Yet never lose sight that our Lord every hour
Remains on the throne; He's all that we need.
So if anyone speaks, if anyone sings,
Or if anyone serves, let all our behavior
Inaugurate freshly the King of all kings,
The Lord Jesus Christ, our God and our Savior.
