America the Beautiful

America the Beautiful

I hesitate strongly in including this poem in one of my blogs. And then I remembered this blog of mine, "A Disciples Cry", and I decided to cry out to others, as a warning to those who don't think anything is wrong with America. Some folks desire a revival of the Holy Spirit. Well, what good is a revival going to do if we all go back to our "unholy" living, our unChristlikeness?  Our actions speak louder than words to the saved and unsaved. We must first get our "act" together before God will consider bringing down His Spirit.  This is not intended to be political but simply very wise Christian teaching. The poem is for us in America. Perhaps we will read it entirely and rise up and speak out, or, at least, change our way of living and draw ourselves, and our friends, much closer to God through Christ!!! The world is watching us and will copy our actions if we mend our ways - God will withdraw His hand from us, and God will be appeased!!

America the Beautiful

America, the beautiful
Or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims pride,
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet Land of Liberty,
Your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
Poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts,
When God has said, "Abstain."

From sea to shining sea,
Our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
And a need to always pray.

We've kept God in our temples,
How callous we have grown,
When earth is but His footstool,
And Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
That's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges
Who throw reason out the door.

Too soft to place a killer
In a well-deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
Before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not angry
That our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
Before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
From Whom we cannot hide?
What, then, is left for us to do
But stem this evil tide?

If we, who are His children,
Will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His Holy Face
And mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven
And forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
And those who live within.

But America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad, but Holy God
Withdraw His hand from thee.
