Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about politics and its role in the life of the Christian. Today I was reading over the words of the well-known hymn, The Solid Rock, and thanking God for the truth penned by their author, William Bradbury. Yet, the more I’ve become involved in party politics, the more I’ve become dismayed and disheartened. I think that Republicans have lost focus on the One who is our eternal foundation and we have exchanged His eternal promises for cheap pragmatism and our faithful obedience for political power. Thus, I was inspired to write these words for a new Republican Party theme song (sung to the tune of The Solid Rock)…

My hope is built on nothing less
Than government and politics;
I dare not trust the enemy,
But always vote for GOP.

Refrain:
On government this nation stands;
So we must vote Republican,
So we must vote Republican.

When media bias veils the race,
Republicans must make their case;
Regardless of the candidate,
We must vote for the elephant.

The constitution, hey what’s that?
What he believes, it matters not.
When things look bleak do not dismay;
Republicans will save the day!

And when Election Day comes ‘round,
Oh, may I at the polls be found;
To vote against my righteous stance,
‘Cause he’s the one who’s got a chance.
