America will be having its annual celebration for its founding as an independent nation on July 4th. She has come a long way in two hundred and thirty-five years; but, that way is quickly coming to an end.
Cloud Over America
There's
a thick, black cloud
blanketing our nation -
weighty, thick, and blinding
like a fog;
For,
our sins have grown so dark
that they're blotting out the sun,
and we've all but turned away
from the Living God.
Every
evil thing
men can think to do,
they do it well from
sea to shining sea,
And like Sodom
and Gomorrah
perished under flames,
America now goes
the way of these.
"One Nation Under God",
"In God, We Trust" -
These words right now
don't seem to mean
a thing.
There's
a thick, black cloud
blanketing our nation-
a threat to life
for every human being.
Come, America,
let's put away our sins,
our murders
and our pride,
and all our greed,
Then, by grace,
the Lord may save us,
forgiving all our sins
if we turn to Him repenting
on our knees.
Constance V. Walden
