THERE WAS A TIME

THERE WAS A TIME ..© ..by ROBBY BOWLING

There was a time in this nation

Where men were simply men

They believed in freedom

They believed it was God's plan

Some were merchants , some were tailors

Some were farmers with fields to sow

Some were fishers & others preachers

Yet they all walked this road

They all heard the cry of freedom

That came from the heart deep within

And then they looked down at their children

Then they turned to face the wind

They all shared a vision

And yes these were all men of faith

And they understood there would be battles

And that time was running late

They knew that truth & knowledge

Was the fight and God's call

And in the end it would yield the real love

The greatest bounty of them all

So these men built our nation

From the visions in their dreams

Their prayers gave us the blessings

Straight from God's eternal stream

With their legacy all around us

Have we preserved their truth & light

Do we truly understand now

The difference between wrong & right

Are the stage lights still shinning

Does our eagle forever fly

In my heart I feel an aching

And at times I want to cry

True fellowship is believing

Should not our hearts hear the call

We've seen Great men before us now

Will they see us rise or fall

We've been led into darkness

And its past time to correct our path

And to get a vision of where we're going

We need look & learn from our past

I believe there are still a few good men

And they know we've lost our way

The battle lines will soon be drawn

The "Battle Hymn" will start to play

There was a time worth remembering

There was a time worth the trial

There was a time, a place, a season

There was a time but it's been a while
