A False Interpretation
We need God back in classrooms and schools
Administering to the sick and angry at heart
We need Him to help lonely, lost souls
And lead them in the paths of righteousness to a new start.
The violence too frequently found in schools
Needs God’s hand to stop mayhem in this chaotic world
Too bad one particular group is bent on destroying our heritage
And leaving entropy and confusion to unfurl.
This group is trying to kill God just as surely
As did Jesus’ enemies when they slew him on the cross
What did such adversity accomplish?
Deeds of violence, a catastrophic loss if not for the resurrection.
Man is a spiritual being if nothing else
Needing the divinity of God’s wisdom overall
To carry him through the trials of life
Give him strength and endurance to stand firm, proud and tall.
How can the government take God out of the schools
When its a direct conflict with rights granted by the constitution?
Separation of church and state was not meant
To silence one’s beliefs and prayers in any institution.
It was concisely written to prevent government
From dictating a religion for the populace
That would deprive them of religious rights
And put limits on the faith of the human race.
It was meant to keep government out of religion
not to keep religion out of the government.
"Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech…”

but when i had brain surgery, and all seemed so bleak. the students at the school, got out of class, gatheded in groups and started to pray for me.i am hear today because there are still young people who know how to get in touch with GOD.so don't dispare. there is
stillfaith in GOD in our schools, it may be in hiding,but it is there. God bless randy
Needing the divinity of God’s wisdom overall
To carry him through the trials of life
Give him strength and endurance to stand firm, proud and tall.

Definitely a huge problem in society today. As we bend for other cultures living in America, we seem to lose everything that made America special in the first place. This is a passionate piece that triggers my feelings on the subject. I couldn't agree more. Well done! Love and Hugs,

Very well said. These days using the name of God only seems to be when it's in vain or as a last resort. Peace, Love and Blessings always, Paul.
Be always safe,
