I mourn for a future we cannot see Things to come that will stifle our dreams The world as we see it and know it Lost forever as man continues his schemes We live in a mighty nation, leaders of the world Our land was blessed and freely we lived Untied as a nation we made our stand We hailed our God, cared not who knew We prayed as a nation in front of the world United together in God we did trust In our fee land, our lives were surreal Prayer was removed from our schools Our God left at home all alone Our children were taught that freedom Of prayer no longer belonged God in our government no longer a need We are a strong nation among men Blessings from God we don�t want to hear Too strong and big to need God within Other nations have made the same mistake Turned their backs and watch their country crumble They grew mighty and they grew strong Left their God behind, forgot to be humble I see things in the future I don�t want to know I try to ignore them, turn my thoughts aside But the message grows clearer I can no longer be silent and hide Our nation once mighty, on top of the world Repeats history and grows weak within I fear for all mankind in this great nation When God turns his back and doesn�t know them � 2005 Sherry L Gibson, All rights reserved

I agree!

YES - Jesus is alive - but are we a dying nation?

Brilliant..Some one needs to tell Mr Bush, America is not the new mostly favoured by the God of the bible. Not sure who his God is.

Very deeply poignant. The world is turning its back on God, Cathedrals, are now replaced by the mighty MALL.

As for being stewards of his creation, I think we've failed better than we could imagine..

Thank you for this mighty message of the great need for God in our lives and our nation. I pray every day that God crushes and destroys the ACCLU.
