January 6 seemed like a fitting time to post this prayer/poem that I wrote on February 11, 2020. This continues to be my prayer.
I pray Lord for America
Belov’d land of the free
That You would raise Your church again
To seek Your sole glory
To praise Your name and lift it high
To walk as pilgrims passing by
Seeking the city coming nigh
Your spotless bride to be
You see us, split on party lines,
Your church that should be one
Both sides spew hateful rhetoric
Their battle never done
Refuse to hear another side
Two worlds apart o’er a gulf wide
Faith can’t unite what world divides
Until we to You run
What happened to church unity
Peculiar people known
As strangers living on this earth
Seeking a heaven’ly home?
To walk by faith and not by sight
In darkness shining Jesus’ light
Like stars in space o’er lightyears bright
Instead we live fear prone
Forgive us our hypocrisy
May Your love banish fear
My tribe has sinned, this I confess
And bow before You here
Please Lord make Your name great again
Unite us who repent our sin
Flood earth with knowledge of You when
We to Your heart draw near
