FORTY MAYORS ELECTED
ALBUM: Amazing Joy 'n' Choices
Song location: http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/NEW-Songs.php
I wrote the lyrics while working on the gym's elliptical machine... This is such an URGENTLY IMPORTANT song.... people are dying! So I humbly beseeched our LORD God for the music.... and we recorded the song the next night. GOD's GIFT.
Song Story: THE LYRICS:
I get both sad and frustrated at people who THINK our God who LOVES us so much would “pick and choose” who He will send to HELL.... for that's the meaning of telling people that God elects SOME people for salvation and imply that WE have no voice, NO CHOICE in the matter. God in Love REPEATEDLY says that He calls ALL of us to ask to be on His election ballot... See also 2nd Peter 3:8 and 9. And that we qualify for God's ballot by obeying Him, being Jesus's friend (see John 15). And that our HONEST prayer... not just words... of Romans 10:9, accepting Jesus as the LORD of our life... the GOVERNOR we follow, then we are elected.
Surely God is HEARTBROKEN when we wrongly say He would choose some people to go to what Jesus describes as “Hell, the fire that shall never be quenched” where there is “Weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
LINK to Jesus's Words: gnashing Matthew 5:22-30, Matthew 10:28 and 18:9,
Mark 9:43-47, Luke 12:5, Matthew 25's end

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
GOD: "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He [is] your life and the length of your days....”
-- Deuteronomy 30: 19-20, a promise also to Christ-followers -- “grafted in” by God, Romans 11:17-24 ('...you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,....” --God again, via Paul)
LYRICS
PART 1
1
A thousand people live there -- a lovely little town. A
town where people believe each one
should freely expound their ideas to improve this
forward thinking town.
Many town mayors share the workload in this special town.
2
This lovely little town has from experience found that
many mayors share caring and
better lead the town. They
stand together and built up and protect this town.
Many town mayors share the workload in this special town.
3
All who obey town laws and respect the governor can
ask to serve.... be added....
to this town's ballot.
People vote for EVERYONE qualified for the ballot.
NO ONE who obeys laws and asks to serve is rejected!
4
Anyone can say YES and ALL can be elected.
IF ALL thousand people want to serve,
ALL get on the ballot. For
the town elects EVERYONE who says YES, I want this.
NO ONE seeking election who obeys laws is rejected!
INTERLUDE music and readings
Reading 1:
JESUS said in Matthew 22:14 : "For many are called, but few [are] chosen." Jesus also said in John 3:16 and 17 that he came to save ALL people... the WORLD.
NOTE: This follows a parable of INVITING people to a party! We must stop taking God's Word out of context!
God calls more people than will ACCEPT His call.... than will ask for election (for God's choosing).
Reading 2: First Timothy 2: verses 3 through 6 . For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For [there is] one God and one Mediator between God and men, [the] Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for ALL ...”
PART 2
5
A thousand residents are called to serve their governor in this town.
Forty people are elected.
Only forty chose the ballot.
All the rest said “NO, I DON”T CARE.”
6
We people get so confused by some Bible words when
we don't CHOOSE to pray for wisdom and study......
GOD CLEARLY SAYS HE WANTS **ALL*** PEOPLE CHOSEN!
EVERY PERSON CAN ASK FOR ELECTION.....
CAN HUMBLY PRAY VERSE 9, ROMANS 10.
