Hold Our Hand

You've held our hand, Lord 
 in dark and difficult days, 
 Please hold America's hand now. 
 Our burdens on You, we lay. 

 America needs your help, Lord, 
 in decisions we have to make. 
 America has abandoned You. 
 How much will You take? 

 America was founded around You, Lord 
 Confused, we stumble Your land. 
 We can't even walk 
 without You holding our hand.

You tell it like it is, Edna! But God sees all and He has a plan. I have faith and pray that God will rise up Godly leaders to enrich America's principles once again. Blessings, Darlene
