Chronicles 7: 14: "If my people, which are called by my
name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal
their land.

America In Tragedy
|
America the Beautiful,
|
|
From
sea to shining sea,
|
|
Stands
today in sorrow,
|
|
Thinking of war and tragedy.
|
|
The
lives of men and women,
|
| So
innocent and free, |
| Destroyed
in just moments,
|
| By an uncaring enemy.
|
|
The
towers that once stood,
|
|
Emblems
of our Nation's trade,
|
|
Now
lie in smoke and rubble,
|
|
In
the land of the free and brave.
|
|
Children
cry in hurt and sorrow,
|
|
For
a parent who did not come home,
|
|
While
searchers look for bodies,
|
|
In
massive webs of steel and stone.
|
|
People who never speak,
|
|
One unto
another, |
|
Now
embrace and weep,
|
|
While
they watch many suffer.
|
|
God is still our Father,
|
|
He sees each and every tear,
|
|
His Spirit moves across this Country,
|
|
Bringing comfort for each fear.
|
|
Will America now see her need,
|
|
For
returning to our God,
|
|
Will
she bow her knee in prayer,
|
|
Upon
this land we trod?
|
|
There is no hope for the future,
|
|
Or protection from the foe,
|
|
If
God's people will not humble,
|
|
And
seek Him for each woe.
|
|
Land of plenty, land of the free,
|
|
Who
gives strength and support to
others,
|
|
Now
stands in need of prayers,
|
|
From Sisters and from Brothers,
|
|
United
with God we will stand,
|
|
Divided
we will fall,
|
|
So we must depend upon God's Word,
|
|
And
make Jesus our "Lord of All".
