We hear a lot about atrocities
All across the globe each day...
But God's hand of protection
Is still on the USA.
Yes, we have had our tragedies...
We've shed our share of tears...
The Twin Towers, Boston Marathon
Are reminders of our fears.
Yet, without a doubt, America
Has been spared to some extent.
But, please don't think that this is due
To our Godless government.
These mad men wearing peace-suits
Are America's nightmare.
Politics have stained their lips
And these dudes don't really care
That this country's sure foundation
Was erected on God's Word .
They've barred Him from The White House!
His Name is rarely heard!
The America I grew up in
I no longer recognize.
Miss Liberty has hung her head!
And the once proud Eagle cries!
Yet, we're still a Christian nation,
In spite of all the high pitched squeals
Of those liberal minorities
Who are forever making deals
With other Godless countries
Who only mean us to do us harm...
Yet Christians who still trust in God
Keep sounding the alarm!
Wake up! Wake up America!
Fall on your face to praise!
Yes, God's Hand of protection
Is still on us in these days!
But it's only due to faith in Him
That this favor comes our way...
Only because believers have
Taken the time to pray.

~~ Dedicated to Janet and to Sandy~~
~~Author's Note~~
As I've said before, inspiration comes from any
and all directions. I read a face book status written
by Janet Bergeron-Navarro which I couldn't get away
from...then a poem by Sandra Hoynacki which only
re-enforced what Janet had written. And I'm thinking,
"Okay, Lord, You've got my attention." So I've "borrowed"
some lines and added what God put in my heart.
And I'm thanking these two wonderful Christian women
and the Holy Spirit...without Whose whisper I couldn't
write at all. So I'm thinking God is surely wanting to get
this message across as He's used three of His followers
to do so...three who are one in the Spirit!
So, my fellow Americans, please pray for America!
Psalm 4:8
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for YOU ALONE, O LORD WILL KEEP ME SAFE
Psalm 91:1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty.
Malachi 3:17
“They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured
possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him.
John 16:33
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
