America Has Sinned Against God

America Has Sinned Against God! God is awesome! And keeps his love’s covenant! He shares this with those who love him, in abundance! But America has sinned and rebelled against the laws he’s given! We’ve turned away from his righteous way of livin’! We haven’t listened to his prophets from long ago! And have brought his holy wrath upon our souls! The lord is righteous! But we’re covered with shame. And have brought dishonor to God’s holy name! We’ve been scattered, because of unfaithfulness! We have disobeyed God’s call for righteousness! God is merciful and forgiving, in spite of our rebellious way. We need to listen to his word, and what HE has to say! We have transgressed HIS laws, with those of our own. And have brought his judgment into our homes! The curses written by Moses, are coming upon us! Very soon, we shall see much disaster all around us! The God who brought Israel out of bondage, wants to free us! Just look at the many addictions that are with us! God, please hear the prayers, as your people call you! America is at a crossroads… And really needs you! Please don’t forsake us now! Please come and heal us! America needs to come and ask you to forgive us! God is and will always be what America has needed! Without him… This country is defeated! By Jim Pemberton 06/05/14 Read Daniel 9:4-17

What a true poem, but most don't like the truth. The only great thing about this nation is it's pride and greed - from the genocide of the Indians, through child labor in the industrial age, to our current Relativism. These were not mistakes, but calculated decisions. Fiat currency is our extinction, like it always has done. I don't think we are at a crossroads though, I think we are already in the grave.

People are made made up of good and bad, just as there are good and bad people, a Country is simply the cumulation of all of this. As someone who loves history, I see the USA as a great nation, with all its good and faults. I guess one can see a glass as half full or half empty, I will say this, goodness shines, and knows no human boundaries!!!! Cheers and nice poem!
