God Bless America vs. America Bless

"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes..."
(Proverb 12:15a, KJV)

God Bless America vs. America Bless God

America, the Beautiful,
America, the Great ~
Let's all tell God we want Him out,
And then sit back and wait!
Let's give out condoms to each child,
Abortion on demand ~
And let's not tell the parents
'Cause they might not understand.

And when our children blaspheme God
Let's look the other way ~
Let's let them mock Him all they want,
And tell us He's passe'.
Let's ban The Ten Commandments,
Let's even rule out prayer ~
Then when our kids bring guns to school
Let's cry, and tear our hair.

Should our Pledge of Allegiance
Give *all* glory to the Flag?
Our common sense should tell us
Without GOD it's just a rag!
Let's tempt the Most High Holy One,
The God of fire and thunder ~
Let's change "one nation Under God"
And be "one nation UNDER!"

America, the Melting Pot,
Whose Christian ways seem odd
To those whose ways are not our own,
Who serve a foreign god.
America, the Tolerant,
Let's contemplate our fate:
If we offend no one but God ~
America, *the Late*.

--Connie

"Yea, they turned back and tempted God
and limited the Holy One of Israel.
They remembered not His hand,
nor the day when He delivered them
from the enemy."
(Psalm 78:41,42 KJV)
