America, The Fading Beacon

America the beautiful

Once the sweet refrain

A time when God was honored

Before this age of shame


A time we treasured freedom

All across the land

That many fought and died for

To keep our nation grand


Our country was a beacon

Of liberty and law

A place to fulfill dreams

A place of hope for all


The beacon light is fading

We’ve turned our backs on God

Rejecting His great truth

As on His name we’ve trod


No longer do we honor

The sanctity of life

Our leaders stoke the fires

Promoting racial strife


Common sense has vanished

Morality despised

Everyone is doing

What is right in their own eyes


It’s like the days of Noah

Evil powers are in control

But there’s still a faithful remnant

Fighting hard for people’s souls


My heart is grieved and saddened

At my nation’s fall from grace

But scripture’s very clear that

In end times we have no place


The whole world now is reeling

Convulsing with the pains

That signify His soon return

As King of kings to reign


Keep looking up dear child of God

It’s clear He’s coming soon

To take His family home to heaven

Before earth meets her doom
