Time To Return

TIME TO RETURN

Lamentations 3:40 admonishes
"Let us examine our ways
And return to the Lord."
Therein lies the truth in God's Holy Word

America has allowed corruption to reign
It's time to stand up and become great again
The Name of Christ is seldom proclaimed
And when it is, it seems spoken in vain

People across America fail to see
The pardon Christ paid on the Mercy Tree
Now it is time for a wake up call
Otherwise America will soon take a fall

It will no longer be the land of the free
What  will become of Lady Liberty
Will she be doomed to a watery grave
And America no longer be the home of the brave

It is a certainty seemingly to me 
It's time for America to look up and see
The God Who created all that exists
Awaits our return to experience His Bliss

So, I say to America, climb out of the mire
Begin to deliver the lost from hell's fire
By telling the world there is no greater love
Than the love of God from Heaven above

Thank you, Beata! I have long admired you for your great poems, but moreover, for your love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am seeing more poets turning to spiritual poems and I firmly believe it is because of our silent witness. To God Be The Glory!

Thank you, Curtis! I aim to tell God's truth in a way that is not offensive yet convincing. Hopefully, many will read the poems I post and come to a saving knowledge of Christ as Lord and Savior.

A great piece Curtis, really makes one want to stand up and proclaim the claims of the gospel of redeeming grace. It has great rhyme and flow too, so well penned. Trust all well with you, have a blessed Easter weekend, Gordon

Gordon, I apologize for this late reply to you. I agree with your comment on proclaiming the gospel. In retrospect, my weekend was quite wonderful.

The warnings are there but many choose to turn their backs. Tom

Yes, Tom, many refuse to acknowledge Him even after being told repeatedly what will happen if they don't. They seem to think that because of their age, they have years left. How wrong it turns out for some. Thanks for your ever present support.

Nothing but AMEN... such a powerful righteous write... make me think about the old testament times...America-the World better praise HIM or He'll have the rocks speak out ...America, climb out of the mire Begin to deliver the lost from hell's fire By telling the world there is no greater love Than the love of God from Heaven above and again AMEN

Thank you, My Brother, for the comments, and the encouragement. Jeremiah, knew fully how the wrath of God can be poured out and he tried to warn the people. You and I are aware of God's wrath as the prophet Jeremiah was and we too speak out and try to warn the people. Soup is a great source and it reaches a lot of people from around t he world with a message they need to hear. Praise God f or a useful piece of technology.
