Righteousness exalts a nation
By joyismine
A mighty nation has arisen Built on sacrifices of the past, Made by earthly champions, From moral fiber cast; Founding principles set forth By God's embodied Word Comprised its constitution, At this new nation?s birth; Equality of states, With liberty for all; God's Commandments taught in schools Lest a precious child should fall; Strong and mighty it emerged, God's Word its sound foundation, For the founding fathers knew That righteousness exalteth a nation: But gradually God was set aside By wicked unbelievers, Prayer was taken from the schools By well intentioned leaders; Future champions were aborted, Falling prey to Satan's plan, The Church lie quietly sleeping While the devil raped the land; Praise Hymns replaced by rousing beat, Sermonettes and new age song; The glory is departing? I wonder what went wrong. from Proverbs 14:34 Joyce GuyThis poem was written many months prior to the twin towers bombing, but the content and question still stands.
