America's Worst Nightmare

America's Worst Nightmare: September 11th

It's almost here again, Lord,
That day Americans dread;
That day when demons came from Hell
And filled this Land with dead.

It's coming now, I feel it,
I hear it in the wind;
That day when all America
Felt their childhood end.

We felt our spirit darken,
Felt horrified, alone;
Some hearts were turned to *You*, Lord,
Some hearts were turned to stone.

With angels watching vigil,
Their swords drawn as for war;
And Satan's hordes unleashed that day
With wrath unseen before.

Destruction so unthinkable,
Stark terror did abound;
With souls Hell-bent or Heaven-sent,
Their blood spilt on the ground.

It's back to haunt our hearts, Lord,
It soon will be a year:
America's worst nightmare,
America's worst fear.

And God, though some Americans
Still treat You with disdain,
Have mercy, Lord, we plead this prayer:
It won't repeat again.

God, please bless America,
*Return* Your strong right Hand;
And let the Eagle safely fly
Across this mighty Land.

--Connie
