America the Beautiful

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy
Moore from Alabama. Judge Moore
was recently sued by the ACLU for displaying the
Ten Commandments in his courtroom. After a
lengthy appeal process the case has been
dismissed and the Ten Commandments
remain on display.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

America the Beautiful, or so you used to be. Land of
the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty, your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said
abstain. From sea to shining sea, our Nation turns
away From the teaching of God's love and a need
to always pray. So many worldly preachers tell lies
about our Rock, Saying God is going broke so they
can fleece the flock. We've kept God in our
temples, how callous we have grown. When earth is
but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government that's rotting at the
core, Appointing Godless Judges who throw reason
out the door, Too soft to place a killer in a well
deserved tomb, But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb. You think that God's
not angry, that our land's a moral slum? How much
longer will He wait before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God, from Whom we cannot
hide? What then is left for us to do, but stem this
evil tide? If we who are His children, will humbly turn
and pray; Seek His holy face and mend our evil
way: Then God will hear from Heaven and forgive
us of our sins, He'll heal our sickly land and those
who live within. But, America the Beautiful, if you
don't then you will see, A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.

~Judge Roy Moore
