Array ( [sid] => 146168 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => America For You I Weep [time] => 2008-11-07 11:41:28 [hometext] => [bodytext] => America, For You I Weep

My glory was upon your land
You trusted in My outstretched hand
But trust waxed old and now you sleep
America, for you I weep

Too blind to see you've turned up lame
You're proud of what should cause you shame
You close your eyes and treat life cheap
America, for you I weep

Not mindful of the wind that blows
You've scattered seeds you shouldn't sow
A bitter harvest you will reap
America, for you I weep

You scramble to the world's door
But don't acknowledge your own poor
You're drowning in delusion deep
America, for you I weep

You're hearts are hard from unbelief
You pile up sorrow, pain and grief
Through Satan's hoops you boldly leap
America, for you I weep

Now miserable, naked, poor and blind
Weak of heart and sick of mind
So much like scattered flocks of sheep
America, for you I weep

There is nothing that I can't forgive
Return to Me and you will live
You used to pray, “… my soul to keep.”
America, for you I weep

© 2004 Ó Raithbheartaigh

“And My people who are called by My name humble themselves
And pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then
I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sins and heal their land.”

2 Chronicles 7:14

America, For You I Weep

My glory was upon your land
You trusted in My outstretched hand
But trust waxed old and now you sleep
America, for you I weep

Too blind to see you've turned up lame
You're proud of what should cause you shame
You close your eyes and treat life cheap
America, for you I weep

Not mindful of the wind that blows
You've scattered seeds you shouldn't sow
A bitter harvest you will reap
America, for you I weep

You scramble to the world's door
But don't acknowledge your own poor
You're drowning in delusion deep
America, for you I weep

You're hearts are hard from unbelief
You pile up sorrow, pain and grief
Through Satan's hoops you boldly leap
America, for you I weep

Now miserable, naked, poor and blind
Weak of heart and sick of mind
So much like scattered flocks of sheep
America, for you I weep

There is nothing that I can't forgive

You used to pray, “… my soul to keep.”

Impassioned and anthemic, I'm impressed at the overall quality of this piece, especially since poetry about country seems so often to degenerate into propaganda. Amen. Glé mhath.
