Timely Warning
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Connie Hinnen Cook
Other Poems by Connie Hinnen Cook


"God looks down from Heaven,
searching among all mankind
to see if there is a single one
who does right and seeks God."
(Psalms 53:2, LB)

TIMELY WARNING


Our forefathers knew perilous times
Of spilt blood on the sod,
They battled to preserve the creed:
"One nation *under God*."

And since then many men have fought
On land and sky and sea,
Courageous, valiant heroes died
To keep this country free.

For freedom is a priceless thing,
A gift beyond compare ~
A privilege immeasurable,
Maintained by fervent prayer.

Americans, take heed
To what our forefathers held fast:
Unless our faith be firm in God
This nation shall not last.


--Connie

"For the sin of my people
is greater than that of Sodom,
where utter disaster struck in a moment
without the hand of man."
(Lamentations 4:6, LB)
