America The Needy
By Elaine Beachy

Like the teen whose heart rebellious
'Gainst the parent's hand is raised,
Going his own way, now dismal,
Loathes to seek parental aid;
So our country, heart rebellious,
Turned her faith from God alone
To free love, Libbers, drugs, abortions,
New Age crystals -- hapless stones!
With her hand out-stretched for answers,
Beaten, wounded, bloodied, sore,
She relucts to find salvation
From the One she so abhorred.
Struggle on, then, O Rebellious,
Pile on laws and legislate!
Watch your cities, towns and families
Buckle under such a fate...
With His heart of mercy aching,
God waits patiently to see
When her eyes will turn upon Him
So that He might set her free.
Who'll repair the crumbling moorings?
Who will shout the watchman's cry?
Who calls out, "Awake, you sleeper!
"Don you armor! To the fray!"
Is it not the godly-minded
Who for long were trodden down,
Those with faith in God, united,
Who restore our country's crown?
"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34
Happy Independence Day to you and your family! Please pray for an outpouring of God's Spirit in our churches and over our country. I also encourage you to read aloud our country's Declaration of Independence as you gather with your family and friends on July 4. Here's the link: http://www.ushistory.org/Declaration/document/
