The trail of tears revisited
the trail of tears
As you drove out the Cherokee, the Chicaasaw, theChoctaw,
the Muscogee- Creek, and seminole.
So I will drive you out.
I am the lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
I will make you live in tents again,
as in the days of your appointed feasts
I spoke to the Prophets,
gave them many visions
and told parables through them.
You have awakened a smoldering anger
and I am against you ; will you steal from the poor
and do it in my name.
Will you take the bread of the needy,
and trample my laws in the dust.
You have awakened a smoldering anger,
and your time of judgement is drawing near you.
God says I am against you who steal in my name:
Private airplanes, and boats,
a motercycle sent by an anonymous doner.
Vacations in Hawaii,and cruises in alaska.
Designer handbags ,a ring of emeralds and diamonds
God knows where the money is......preached Mrs copeland
and the prosperity evangelists.
