"What's It Going to Take?"


September 11th tragedy

 

What’s it going to take

For America to wake up?

 

Tragedy is rampant in our history,

But do we really turn back to God?

 

Do we wake up and come to our senses

When we look death and tragedy in the face?

 

Pearl Harbor, 9/11, war,

Still, we do not put faith in God.

 

We took prayer out of school,

We took out the Pledge of Allegiance,

We took the Bible out of school,

And added the theory of evolution.

 

America was founded on Biblical principles,

Where are those principles today?

 

God is using these tragedies to wake us up!

Will we listen?

 

WAKE UP AMERICA!
