America, my native land,
I pledge my love to you,
you are the shining city on
a hill,
such stories good and true.
You've provided a safe
haven for
those who sought your
shores,
freedom they had never
known
till they reached your open
doors.
You saved countless
numbers,
and gave shelter from the
storm,
determined to protect them,
from those who would do
them harm.
We've not been the greatest
stewards;
we've not treated you with
care.
We've taken you for granted
and fell prey to the
enemy's snares.
We watched silently as they
burned our flag, so
valiantly she served,
She's been shot at, stomped
on and turned
to ashes, treatment she
never deserved.
They've removed the Ten
Commandments,
taken prayer out of
schools.
Every day four thousand
babies die,
for what our un-Godly
Supreme Court ruled.
We've been helpless as our
children
used cocaine and marijuana,
they're only doing what
they see
on Prime Time television
drama.
We've watched our
Judeo/Christian
values being torn apart and
mocked.
If our Founding Fathers
could come back,
They would be devastated
and shocked.
We can't blame others
entirely;
we must blame ourselves as
well,
We, in the Christian
Community,
have let our country go to
hell.
Have we been vigilant about
our freedoms
to worship as we choose?
Have we taken the time to
read our Constitution?
Our rights have been
abused.
No such thing as
"Separation of Church and State",
It's not in the
Constitution.
How could your people be
blinded by
such a Satanic delusion?
Our service men and women
are
fighting and dying for our
rights.
Can we do any less here at
home, than be informed
and preserve the freedoms
for which they fight?
If they are willing to risk
their lives,
in a distant foreign land,
why can't we be as
courageous and,
by God's grace take a
stand?
If they are willing to die,
to protect these hallowed
shores,
we should count it a
privilege,
to know our rights, and
more,
to go the extra mile,
to pray, to intercede.
Our freedoms are a
blessing,
but they are not free.
Though you have your
faults,
no other country could I
call home.
America, I love you,
my country, my very own.
