We Can!

Our country needs to return to its roots and rekindle old flames,
Grab on to those old values and uphold those sacred names.

If our founding fathers could see the moral decline we have allowed to take place,
They would call us traitors and a land that has fallen from grace.

Our values have declined so that we allow any and all evil to delegate their will,
I for one am sick of it and totally have had my fill.

Christians we are the majority, yet we let the minority dictate to us the way it will be,
Then if this is truly a democracy then it’s time we say enough and let the world see.

Let’s put back into play what has made America the greatest country ever known,
And pray to God that He will forgive us and let His mercies be shown.

We must quickly turn from this path that leads to destruction and ruin,
And set our eyes on the prize and realize the things we are doing.

Our young ones are growing up in a society that has become numb to the truth,
We are to blame for allowing this to happen and it’s wrong and uncouth.

Gay marriages, abortions, when and where will it end?
We have gotten off course and one day God’s wrath, He will send.

Search your heart, search your soul and you will know these words speak true,
This is our country and our children and we are responsible for the things we do.

I love the Lord, I love this country and I pray for my fellow man,
And I know Americans can make it right, I know they can!

A very inspiring message Ron, if only the silent majority can be invigorated to speak up, for i believe that the majority agrees with your words. Well done. Regards Heidie

I am going to find an Island, move there, make my own laws, grow my own food, and dare anyone to tell me I can't worship God, say the Pledge of Allegiance, and display The Ten Commandments. Who could imagine, our country would ever allow this kind of mess to happen. Always, Christy

Amen brother!!! I think the greates cause is "political correctness". Nobody wants to speak the truth for fear of offending someone. I believe in those christian values that this country was founded on, it is what help made this nation great. America can return to its glory...we only have to open our eyes and finally confront the truth. Very eye opening work, it makes one examine his values. My best, Charlie
