Chronicles 7: 14: "If my people, which are called by my
name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;
then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal
their land.

America In Tragedy
| America
the Beautiful, |
| From
sea to shining sea, |
| Stands
today in sorrow, |
| Thinking
of war and tragedy. |
| The
lives of men and women, |
| So
innocent and free, |
| Destroyed
in just moments, |
| By
an uncaring enemy. |
| The
towers that once stood, |
| Emblems
of our Nation's trade, |
| Now
lie in smoke and rubble, |
| In
the land of the free and brave. |
| Children
cry in hurt and sorrow, |
| For
a parent who did not come home, |
| While
searchers look for bodies, |
| In
massive webs of steel and stone. |
| People
who never speak, |
| One
unto another, |
| Now
embrace and weep, |
| While
they watch many suffer. |
| God
is still our Father, |
| He
sees each and every tear, |
| His
Spirit moves across this Country, |
| Bringing
comfort for each fear. |
| Will
America now see her need, |
| For
returning to our God, |
| Will
she bow her knee in prayer, |
| Upon
this land we trod? |
| There
is no hope for the future, |
| Or
protection from the foe, |
| If
God's people will not humble, |
| And
seek Him for each woe. |
| Land
of plenty, land of the free, |
| Who
gives strength and support to others, |
| Now
stands in need of prayers, |
| From
Sisters and from Brothers, |
| United
with God we will stand, |
| Divided
we will fall, |
| So
we must depend upon God's Word, |
| And
make Jesus our "Lord of All". |
