Our Country Today

I’m sitting here today trying to figure out,
Why my head is spinning and filling with doubt.

There seems to be tension flowing in the air
It’s only getting worse as we tumble to despair.

The news as we watch it has nothing to say,
But segments that tell a sad story each day.

One more life lost, another on the verge,
Another corporation to government, we see merge.

The pointing of the finger seems to some justified,
Blaming someone else for our issues, yet continues to lie.

Sure there are mistakes that everyone makes,
None of us are perfect for heaven’s sake.

Speaking of heaven, where has our faith gone?
Have we strayed from our morals? Where do we belong?

Have we taken our Heavenly Father out of our lives?
Because His word doesn’t fit what we chose to decide?

What has this come to, and why is there compromise?
Stories twisted, hearts broken, when will we realize?

The signs they are everywhere, it won’t be too long
Until the Savior returns, we must remain strong.

Our country was founded on faith in One God,
But over the years it seems to some, that it be odd.

They say we can’t force a faith from our hearts,
It’s up to the individual as to what he takes part.

But back in the year the Constitution was written,
It was written by the founding fathers, and they were Christians.

So, why is it now the moral line gets so thick?
We twist our stories & lies and try to pull tricks.

What’s fair for one isn’t good for another,
It’s in what we feel justified, we push on others.

If only our country would return & put God first,
“In God We Trust”, would not seem so cursed.

They’ve tried for years to take Him out of our lives,
No prayer in our schools, only outside.

If you look over history the pattern appears,
Of death and destruction as we make God disappear.

In Him there is light and clear direction to all,
It’s up to you to stand up and head His call.
