Poem Artwork

Lord, If ever our nation needs prayer
It is today
Television screams the news
Look what the papers have to say
America is in turmoil
We don't know what to do
We hear Praise be to Obama
But Lord, I praise only you
Lay Your hand on our nation, Lord
Take away our fears
We need a great healing, Lord
Would you dry America's tears...

There's children being abused
There's malice in the air
Murderers line death row
Does anybody care
Our soldiers are being killed
Our homeless live in the street
There's someone out there somewhere
Who has nothing at all to eat
Lay Your hand on our nation, Lord
Take away our fears
We need a great healing, Lord
Would you dry America's tears...

Our flag still waves proud
We are the land of the free
But at what price is our freedom
If our nations don't agree
Lord, we need your healing touch
Cover us with your grace
If all eyes would be on YOU
Everything would fall into place
Lay Your hand on our nation, Lord
Take away our fears
We need a great healing, Lord
Would you dry America's tears...

So much hatred in this world
Lord, we need you now
I want to make a difference
If you'll only show me how
Teach us to love one another, Lord
To put down our guns and knives
Dear Lord, I know your wish for us
Is to live much better lives.
Lay Your hand on our nation, Lord
Take away our fears
We need a great healing, Lord
Would you dry America's tears


Our nation is in turmoil
We don't know what to do
We hear Praise be to Obama
But Lord, I praise only you
Lay Your hand on our nation, Lord
Take away our fears
We need a great healing, Lord
Would you dry America's tears...

Linda, I truly thank you for this magnificent write. We abondoned God shortly after 911! God has abondoned us. We didn't want Him in our classrooms, we didn't want Him in our courtrooms, and we thought we could live our lives without God. God always saves a remnant of his people all over the world. Because of Christian people like yourself and others praying, America will not perish. We still have time to turn from our wicked ways and acknowledge God and He will deliver us, forgive us, and who knows possibly save us! May peace never cease.!!!

God is indeed the answer to our prayers Linda, and if only we could turn back time and go back to when religion was a part of our schools, our courts and our whole society. If we as a nation could turn to God at this time, then either candidate would be fine. A thought provoking write here, nice.
With you in faith, *Glen*

Very good heartfelt and honest write, Linda. Your passion for life is what makes your poems so nice to read. Thanks for sharing.

I think our prayer should be: Lord, tell me what to do! What do you do when neither candidate is a shining example of what a leader should be? What a MESS. God help us, indeed. Powerfully penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

The outcome of the election will leave the elected supporters feeling good, happy and joyed....yet the country will still be in need of prayer, help, understanding and very hard work to raise it back up where it used to be...

Time will be the healer...

nice work..

Obama scares me; somehow I don't trust him. He reminds me of a snake! The Lord does need to heal our land, but WE need to get back to the Biblical foundations upon which our (once) great nation was founded; and we need to put GOD back into our homes, our schools, our land!! Only then will He heal our land; we have to acknowledge Him first! God help us, and I pray this prayer every day!

Heartshattering reality of life in America today!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <
