Going Astray in
the U.S.A.
Many things in
this old world
Are so corrupt
today
With prisons
overflowing
And children
gone astray.
The word of God
is quite taboo
It brings our
country shame
To seek Him in a
public place
We dare not
speak His name.
He won’t be
found in
classrooms
It would be
found, a sin
To let our small
ones gather
round
And offer praise
to Him.
They’ve taken
God from every
book
And from our
government
The laws that
made our country
strong
Are crooked,
vile and bent.
I only pray,
it’s not too
late
To turn it all
around
Etch the Bible
in the hearts
Of everyone in
town.
For if we wait
and tarry on
And go about our
way
God will finally
shout “enough”
The trumpet then
will play.
We will not find
sweet mercy
When we look to
Him for grace
We will not see
contentment
When we gaze
upon His face.
We’ll know His
wrath and fury
With our backs
against the wall
He’ll say, “I
never knew you.”
The curtain then
will fall.
