United States of America, how the sleeping giant slumbers. Once a city on a hill, now embracing the gates of hell to try and fill you wayward soul. On Virgin Beach a cross does preach of your mission to reach the New World for Christ the King. You have been sung asleep by philosophies contrary to Prince of Peace, and fruit has been a loss of peace and anarchy. Once men and women did teach in your cities the Gospel of Peace in your academies, now instead you teach philosophies that say "save the trees and kill the children." (Casting Crowns: Life Song). O America in your pride you do deride the erosion of the City on a Hill, but your churches are as guilty as the devil. For you have preached gospels of an American Dream and endless money that the Apostles and Christ do impeach, "For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband—Christ. But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent. You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed. But I don’t consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things. These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve." (2 Corinthians 11:2-5, 12-15), and "Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart [your wishes, your desires; that on which your life centers] will be also." (Matthew 6;19-21). Material greed has eaten thy creeds and made you faint with the smoke of industry. On thy altar the cross and cash sign sit in harmony, when our Savior would throw the altar like the tables of money changers in the Temple (Matthew 21:12-13). How far you have fallen Land of Dreams, lured a slumber by your thirst for plunder. Once a light to the nations of strife, you have fallen asleep tonight and shall rise to find your lamp removed (Revelation 2:5). You trumpet the return of your power, but in this hour God may pluck you like a flower!
Fat and happy with freedoms you once praised, has now turned to cruel hate. In your gluttony the bread of liberty has grown stale, now you hunger for sorcery and anarchy doth prevail. O America once united and tall, to division do you fall. A house divided cannot stand, from Afghanistan to current circumstance does the division expand. Lost as a nation, you seek salvation in men's policies, ignoring the quiet voice that does ignite, "This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the LORD." (Jeremiah 17:5), and "Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save." (Psalm 146:3).
America, the freedoms I have cherish fall prey to terrorists and communists. A generation cares not for what it never had to safeguard, ignoring the blood soaked beaches of Omaha, the soaked seas of the Pacific, and the trenches of Europe. A generation has come to power that thinks fondly of anarchical flowers (1960's) disdaining the gallantry and sacrifice of heroes and calling them cowards. How swiftly you bite the apples of adders and drink the poison of principalities, all because you believe in university and universality. Sinking into homosexuality and immoralities you reap the penalties (Romans 1:27). Protective of your portions you feed abortion and continue to breed distortions. How Long can the Lord look on your rebellion before you are felled and placed in hell (Revelation 21:8)? United States of America, a song I give thee, one that chronicles your blasphemies and immoralities:
"United States of AmericaLooks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the bridegroom has returned
And has carried his bride away in the night, in the night
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its king
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night,"
(John Mark Hall, While You Were Sleeping, Casting Crowns: Life Song).
You may think you are safe, but being in church does not save, for the Savior did say, "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." (Matthew 7:21-23). Do you know Him? Or has your greed made Him seem like the lord of money, instead of the Lord of Milk and Honey, offering eternal life to every person tonight. United States of America, you will be found guilty this time. For you thought you could command the King, and turn Him into a genie. Where is your serenity to the Trinity for infinity? You profess devotion, while you drink Mammon's potion and turns your hot streams to lukewarm ponds (Revelation 3:15-17). O America, "you'll go down in history, as nation with no room for its King." Repent while there is still time to be spent, for the Alpha and Omega comes make bent the nations! (Revelation 19:). Your anthem and flag will not still be there, but burned in fire (2 Peter 3:7,10). For your desire was the cup of idolatries and immorality (Revelation 17:5-6, Revelation 18:1-35), and when the Lord comes on the clouds you hide yourself beneath the mountains, "Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!"(Revelation 6:15-16). In case you think your little pieties please the King, Jesus says to thee, "Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God." (Mark 7:7). For your churches teach contrary things to God's breathed Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16), and place man made creeds on your arms and feet. Awake America! Wake up from your slumber before it is too late! Your faith in institutions is misplaced! It must be in Immanuel, in Jesus Christ! Cease your greed, the endless need to breed self protection, self promotion, and self determination. Be set free in Jesus Christ, who chose thee to be a covenant nation after Him. Wake up, before God breaks up with you! (Hebrews 6:4-6, 2 Peter 2:20, 1 Timothy 4:1, Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 24:9-10, Matthew 24:49-53).
