Oh, God!  To you we cry!
Why did so many innocent have to die?
Has your hand been removed from this nation?
Or have you just grown impatient
That we have grown cold in our spirit?
You speak in love, but we do not hear it.
We tell you, "Out of our schools!"
If people believe in You, they are fools!
Women tell you, "It's our bodies!  We want control!"
Then destroy the gift of life.  Oh, the awful toll!
Men say, "I can have sex with whom I please!"
Without a care how they spread disease.
We take away the innocents of our boys and girls,
And fill our minds with the evils of the world.
"Money is our god!", we cry!
We use drugs to get our high.
We try to fill the void inside,
While the truth of sin we try to hide.
Then you send evil ones to destroy our idols,
And show us our strength in them is only trifles.
You bring down those towers that we hold dear.
With joy our enemies jaw and jeer.
We forgot what has made us great.
Now our hearts our filled with grief and hate.
Oh, God, help us to drop to our knees,
And plead, "Oh, Lord, please, please,
Forgive our sins and cleanse our hearts
Before our enemies tear us apart!
Extend again, your merciful hand to us.
Your guidance in our lives is a must!
Turn us back to Your word, your3 strength we plead!
A void we must fill, your spirit we need!
Forgive us, oh God, let your love in us flow.
We need you beside us, our enemies to show,
In God We DO Trust and He is our strength.
Hold us up, Lord, before we do sink
Like Peter into waves of destruction.
Remake us again into a glorious nation!
God Bless America, again!
