By Joel A Hess –
While I pray that God gives us a president we need and not one we deserve
My future does not depend on this election
While I do my civic duty to research, meditate and vote
My future does not depend on this election
While I fear for the future of this country regardless of who is elected
My future does not depend on this election
While I fret over foolish decisions made by elected and unelected men and women
My future does not depend on this election
While I stumble over my own despicable crimes
My future does not depend on this election
While I fear the words my doctor will one day say
My future does not depend on this election
While I worry about my family and how I will pay all my bills
My future does not depend on this election
While a future president may one day outlaw the faith
The Church’s future does not depend on this election
My future depends on Christ
Who died for all
Who rose from the dead
Who is coming again
Who will raise us up never to die again
The earth may shake
The mountains may fall into the sea
The universe may shrink into a minute singularity
My future does not depend on this election
