Noble men, their morals cast in stone Lived and died to see men free. From a sovereign land, forsaking all, Clad in hope and faith they came. Religious masks of old would fall, Giving praise to just One Name. Through storm and gale, though some were lost Freedom ships ceased not to sail. “Liberty or death—count the cost!” Solemn lips and hearts would wail. A wilderness untamed, they found, Red skinned people called it home. With sleeves rolled up they cleared the ground From east to west they’d roam. Three hundred years would pass until A free nation—she could boast. Rights declared through a brand new Bill Bells echoed coast to coast. The famous Fifty-Six did sign, both in ink and drops of blood. “Tears of choice--can now be mine” from every eye flowed like a flood. Father George and prayer, became one Godless rule—not possible-- Like, the morning sky without sun, Heaven’s Guide—unstoppable! These men had battled hard and long Bled and died to claim free soil Faith and hope would become their song. In God they would trust and toil. Our Presidents would kneel in prayer, in search of divine guidance, In God’s hands, place the Nation’s care while pledging their allegiance. To be politically correct Back then, its meaning reversed. No prayer--no God—all would reject Lest our nation become cursed. These humble men, where have they gone? Can you hear their spirits cry? Like, Abraham, Martin and John Oh-- forget-not, why they died? If my people called by My Name Shall humble themselves and pray And turn from this wicked game Come and seek my face today-- Then I will hear from up above Forgive your sin and your shame Heal your hearts and land with my love When you humbly call my Name. The words in italics are gleaned from 2 chronicles 7:14. One of my favorite passages of Scripture. John Wark 2010.
