When?

Oh America!  Where did your heritage die to?
When did men sleep with every woman but their wife
And hide from the light, sting their family and kiss scarlet sin in the black of night?

Oh America!  What have we done?
When did women throw away beautiful loveless babes
For sex?  And when did a woman curse her womb
And murder her child on the alter of selfishness?

Oh America!  My spirit groans for your broken hearts
Young people who take their own lives out of pain
And hate, hopelessness in the blackness of night crying for an end
To their own suffering. 

Oh America!  Turn from your sin!
When did we fall away from the truth
And the light for perverted pleasures and lust?
We have forgotten where we came from
We have forgotten the price He payed for us.


Broken marriages He repairs
Families wrenched apart brought back to life
Hurt and pain He can heal
Addictions cease
From our chains we are released,
This is by His blood
That we may be saved.
