the night before voting
‘Twas the night before voting, when all through the land,
Every voter was fretting and wringing their hands.
Their clothing set out for the very next day
But how would they vote? Not a person could say!
So as they did toss, and they turned in their beds,
Visions of voter fraud danced in their heads.
And Mama with her Xanax, and I with Prozac,
Had just settled down for a bedtime snack.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window, I flew like The Flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But hosts of angels saying “Please, do not fear.”
“Relax, for behold we bring you direction
“God’s in control despite this election!”
“The Lord steers the course of each earthly event,
“Our God removes kings; provides replacements,1
“His plans are pleasing, they are perfect, so good2
“His universe runs just the way that it should.”
“So go vote your faith, and don’t be a jerk
“For God will continue to do his good work.”
“Now go back to bed and please get a good rest,
“God’s working all out for the ultimate best.3
Then spreading his wings, Michael gave a whistle,
Away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard them exclaim as they flew out of sight,
“Your God is still sov’reign—on election night!”

I’m still undecided......../s
The only undecideds left are the Never-Trumpers.
Either vote for Biden and Kamala, or stay home.
Thank you so much for posting this-very true, and very helpful to read.
A very calming poem, thanks for it. I see that it was written in 2016. Then we were praying for a miracle and we got it. Now we need fair elections and are praying for that.
Yes, God is sovereign, and He sovereignly allows people to choose whether to accept Him or reject Him, to choose eternal life or eternal death, to choose blessing or cursing and judgment.
You know you wake up one day and read in the polls that Trump is double digits down from Biden. How did it ever get that way? People just accept it as a fact! Why is Barak or Hillary or Biden always ahead of the Republicans at the beginning of the race? They never have to play catch up. I just think the whole thing is a crook right from the first and nobody ever questions anything and blindly accepts it as fact — even Republicans. Trump has done miracles, broke records, highest economy ever, nominated for Nobel Peace Prizes, etc. and he is down in the polls right from the beginning. On top of that he is being beaten by a doddering old man with dementia, corrupt as all hell and with no accomplishments to speak of for his 47 years in government.
If Americans do vote him out they are the stupidest people ever and deserve Biden and the worse, insane crap he can throw at them.
But I believe that God will decide for Trump. My wife has made a prophesy today from perusing her Bible that the King of the South (Florida) will win.
Excellent - thank you. Passing it on to others who along with myself have admitted we’ve given lip service that GOD is in charge but we don’t walk the walk....we still fret. Needed this.
Cute.
Thanks for the much needed laugh.
