Celebrating America...I LOVE THIS LAND!

I LOVE THIS LAND...

I love this land with its rock and hills and trees;

I love this land from mountaintops to roaring seas.

I love this land with its grandeur and majesty

But I admit there are some things that truly bother me...

How can a people blessed with so many wondrous things

Turn their back on their Creator, the holy King of Kings?

How can each hope that beats within in the heart of every man,

Not praise the One who created us and walk according to His plan?

What kind of man would turn his back and quickly walk away;

Not take the time to lend a hand to those lost in life's dark fray.

What does it take, what can be done... to open closed and blinded eyes;

To see the suffering all around or hear the anguish in their cries...

Of those who are downtrodden, living less than God intended

Who only need a helping hand; a chance to be befriended;

What kind of people do not seek to make anew and change what is...

How can they continually do these things and say they are...HIS!

So I will show my love for all, each and every day;

I'll love this land and let it show to those who come my way;

Not only in single deed, but in what I think and say;

And I pray the Lord will listen, when I bow my head to pray....

HOLY FATHER....BLESS THIS LAND; THE LAND I TRULY LOVE!

LET YOUR MERCY SHINE UPON US FROM YOUR THRONE ABOVE.

HELP US SEEK THE LOST AND AS WE POINT THEM TO YOU;

MAY THE MESSAGE WE SHARE BE FOUND FAITHFUL AND TRUE!

MAY OUR LOVE BE ETERNAL AS WE SEEK TO FOLLOW YOU,

MAY OTHERS KNOW OF JESUS BY WHAT WE SAY AND DO;

MAY WE BE A BEACON FOR ALL WHO ARE LOST IN THE NIGHT

MAY WE ANSWER THE CALL...TO BE THE SALT & LIGHT!!!!

MAY EACH DAY BRING WITH IT, A WONDROUS OPPORTUNITY

TO SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS, SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT SEE;

WE LONG TO BE THE PEOPLE YOU WOULD HAVE US TO BE....

AMERICA, YOUR BLESSED LAND, FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA!!!!

OH YES...I LOVE THIS LAND !!!!!
