My hope is built

When I was younger, I was a part of a hard dispensationalist church. I wasn't dispensationalist myself, but that's where God had me. Anyway, we used to have a little ditty about dispensationalist theology, set to the tune of My Hope Is Built. Here's how it went:
My hope is built
on nothing less
than Scofield's notes
and Moody Press
A variation on that was to substitute "Zondervan" for Scofield's notes. Well, the other day I was thinking about the hard connection between conservative evangelicals (really fundamentalists, but that's another story) and the current president. Seems nothing can shake their belief in him. So, I thought of this little ditty, also to the tune of My Hope Is Built:
My hope is built
on nothing less
than Donald Trump
as President
I think that pretty much sums up their theology, sadly.
