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 Hill (C)

With the Internet and many channels of news spread instantaneously around the world, it only seems like things are worse. The facts say something different. While from year to year, good times and bad times fluctuate like the weather. The twenty first century is far better than the twentieth.

All we have to do is compare our recession lasting about four years now, to the Great Depression and there is no comparison. Times are getting better, it is only that we are bombarded by every little incident picked up by camera or placed on the Internet for us to see.

At the time of Christ, the Romans conquered whole countries by killing the population, raping the women, and enslaving the children for their benefit. Their games involved killing and torture for pleasure. They crucified many, not just Jesus, to put fear in the masses.

The Ayatollah of Iran, cannot compare to Hitler, or even Stalin, or Mao Tse Tung.

I raise my glass, three quarters full, to you. Do you raise your glass, one quarter empty, and worry because it is not full? What would Jesus say to what I've just written?
