God Bless America

I know it sounds a bit corny, but "God Bless America" really is my favorite song.  Whenever I play it on the accordion for folks at gatherings after church and at county picnics, I always get a lump in my throat. 

And why not?  We are living in the greatest, most powerful, most decent, and most god-fearing country in the world.  Yes we have some problems (so-called intellectuals on the coasts, homosexuals with their "gay agendas" trying to convert the rest of us, socialists who try to pass themselves off as real Americans, and an alien President who is determined to destroy the Constitution).  But most of us where I live anyway "love and fear the Lord, tremble in his presence, and bow down to serve him."

"God Bless America" perfectly captures that noble spirit that has made our country the envy of the entire world.  Why, you don't hear about people wanting to move to Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Uganda....But everyone wants to live in the U.S.A., because we have what all men long for in their heart of hearts:  GOD, TRUTH, FREEDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and  DECENCY.

So yes, God does bless America
and it will always be the land that I will always love.
And I sure as heck hope that He, in his mercy, continues to stand by her
and guide her through the dark night of the Obama occupation
with his bright light of truth shining from above.

AMEN
