America, For You I Weep
My glory was upon your land
You trusted in My outstretched hand
But trust waxed old and now you sleep
America, for you I weep
Too blind to see you've turned up lame
You're proud of what should cause you shame
You close your eyes and treat life cheap
America, for you I weep
Not mindful of the wind that blows
You've scattered seeds you shouldn't sow
A bitter harvest you will reap
America, for you I weep
You scramble to the world's door
But don't acknowledge your own poor
You're drowning in delusion deep
America, for you I weep
You're hearts are hard from unbelief
You pile up sorrow, pain and grief
Through Satan's hoops you boldly leap
America, for you I weep
Now miserable, naked, poor and blind
Weak of heart and sick of mind
So much like scattered flocks of sheep
America, for you I weep
There is nothing that I can't forgive
Return to Me and you will live
You used to pray, “… my soul to keep.”
America, for you I weep

“And My people who are called by My name humble themselves
And pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then
I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sins and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

Impassioned and anthemic, I'm impressed at the overall quality of this piece, especially since poetry about country seems so often to degenerate into propaganda. Amen. Glé mhath.
