America The Beautiful

Or So You Used To Be

America the beautiful, or so you used to be,
Land of the Pilgrim's pride -- I hope they never see
Babies piled in dumpsters, our morals down the drain,
Sin is now accepted in a country gone insane.
People wander aimlessly, poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge when God said to abstain.
From sea to shining sea our country turns away
From the teaching of God's word and the need to always pray.

Phony TV pastors telling lies about our Rock,
Saying God is going broke so they can fleece the flock.
We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core,
Apointing godless judges who throw reason out the door.
Too soft to place the killer in his well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill the child before he leaves the womb.

You think God is not angry that our land's a moral slum?
How much evil will He watch before His kingdom comes?
How are we to face our God from whom we cannot hide?
What is left for us to do to stem this evil tide?

If all of those whom God has called would humbly turn and pray,
If we would seek His holy face and leave our evil way,
Then God would hear from heaven and forgive us of our sin.
He'd heal our sickly land and all those who live within.

America the beautiful, unless you heed this call
Our Holy God withdraws His hand and blessing from us all.
