We sing of America the beautiful,
Indeed the land may it always be,
But when I look at all her people,
Something so very different I see.

There's so much hostility & anger,
We see it raging from sea to sea,
Our politics have so divided us,
My friends this just should not be.

Our patience, love and compassion,
Seem to have suddenly taken flight,
Instead we are rude with our words,
We all prefer to yell, kick and fight.

We have lost sight of our foundation,
Forefathers found it in God's Word,
But today so many rebel against Him,
Terrible sins like we've never heard.

Yes so haughty has become America,
Her rebellion she flaunts in His face,
But if we don't repent and be humble,
God may just move us from our place.

From our pedestal God will knock us,
The Lord may even grind us to dust,
His longsuffering is truly enduring,
But He will chastise us if He must.
