Lot’s Song

Lot travelled along with Abraham, he left his home behind
His faith was small, but focused on, the Promised Land to find!
But the Promised Land it lost it’s worth, when Sodom came in view
So... with peace of mind his choice was made - but the will of God he
blew!
Now, from that choice, he’s all alone, and caught in a war with kings
If not for faithful Abraham, he’d lose most every-thing
So Abram fought and risked his life, for a nephew far from the Lord
But, Lot... didn’t see where his choices led… or where he was headed
toward
He lived in Sodom like everyone else, he got along just fine
Lot rose to power and sat in the gate, not minding living with swine
How far from God can we find ourselves - just, how low can we go?
Our… choices have such consequence; you’ll al-ways reap what you sow!
Chorus
Oh “set your affection, on things above, not on things on the earth”
Right choices are made, with heaven in view, not sin’s fleeting worth
It’s the only way, to beat sins’ wages - to escape, the wrath to come!
So we’ll stay to the course, never looking back - our eyes only on God’s
Son
Finally God’s judgment came, His patience had run out
Fire and brimstone would come down, Lot’s future was in doubt!
And once again, ol’ Abraham, God’s mercy he would plea
For... Lot’s, end was coming his world was lost and all he could-do was
flee
Lot started well, he had a faith, that walked along with God
But quickly Lot had traded faith for Sodom’s bright facade
This righteous man though saved by grace, was still a servant of sin
If, he’d... only yielded to God’s word, not trusting his heart within
Final
Chorus
Oh “set your affection, on things above, not on things on the earth”
Right choices are made, with heaven in view, not sin’s fleeting worth
It’s the only way, to beat sins’ wages - to escape, the wrath to come!
So we’ll stay to the course, never looking back - our eyes only on God’s
Son
