The atrocities in our land
Are becoming more pronounced
Something new each day
Is on the news announced
My heart is heavy with all the horror
With all the crime with all the offense
The tears I shed for my country
And those who sit on the fence
The fence of impassive observance
For those who are so very lost
They do little to introduce Jesus
To those who so need His Cross
A trip to the knees in repentance
Would change just one...yes
But through that one
Others would confess
The message of Salvation
Would echo through the land
And bring many to their knees
Ready to take a stand
For Jesus
