Keep America in Your Care = A poem By Helen Steiner Rice

Psalms 33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Perfect words for today’s world

We are faced with many problems that grow bigger day by day.

And, as we seek to solve them in our own self-sufficient way.

We keep drifting into chaos and our avarice and greed

Blinds us to the answer, that would help us in our need.

Oh, God, renew our spirit, and make us more aware

That our future is dependent, on sacrifice and prayer.

Forgive us our transgressions, and revive our faith anew

So we may all draw closer to each other, and to You.

For when a nation is too proud, to daily kneel and pray

It will crumble into chaos, and descend into decay.

So stir us with compassion, and raise our standards higher

And take away our lust for power, and make our one desire

To be a shining symbol, of all that’s great and good

As you lead us in our struggle toward newfound brotherhood.
