Let's Get It Right



Happy Birthday, America.
Two weeks from now, we will be
celebrating our momentous 248th birthday.
There will be an explosion of fireworks.

I see shadows, dark clouds, and dim lights.
We stand at the precipice of the unknown.
I still believe there's time to 'Get it right'.
May God enable us to really 'Get it right'.

If we did not come this far without God,
do we dare suppose we can go forward
without him? In light of all that we now face,
I am hoping that there will be an even greater
explosion of the fireworks of prayer.

So many question are 'Up in the air'.
Red and Blue answers are clashing.
While we are fighting and debating,
The world is watching and waiting.
