This America

The land of the free the home of the brave
We cry one nation under God indivisible with liberty and Justice for all!

But is the Justice for all or just the rich?
This America! Where we kill babies by the thousands with no conviction…
Children falling through the system and without regret for our lost children we still pursue the American Dream…
In this America!
Where we have become so righteous, we’re defiled…because it’s our own
Church’s whose only ministry is to themselves
Outreaches to gain more members instead of to reach out to them who are without
Feeding the poor to make ourselves feel good
Building million dollar churches by the billions
Yet! The poor stay homeless and their communities in lack
I don’t cry for this America, I cry against it…
Because in this Christian land I see no Christ…
No death to self no greater love
This America where our churches have become more business than ministry
More concerned with our prosperity than the impoverished
Our wealth has become what concerns us and not the welfare of our children

So I cry for the Nations…Cause we here in this America are too many looking out for ourselves
And we turn our eyes to African Genocides and many die because they supply no oil…
So I don’t cry for this America I cry against it…
And I cry out to the Church and I say …where are you?
Cause many are the poor,
Yes! the Poor the ones Jesus was anointed to preach to, the ones he gave most of his time too,
And we say we have the same anointing yet to them the gospel has not been preached cause they are still hungry while we lay in our warm houses which “we have sewn seed to receive” they lay in the streets
Is there any meat in the Father’s house cause his children are starving!

It’s time in this America... for the church to take her place
We are the city on the hill so it’s time to shine
We are the salt and the world needs to taste us
Forget the American Dream and Stop pursuing the Cream
Let’s lay down our lives, cause we will find that on the other side of death is life…Selah
So let’s take on the mind of Christ…
Let’s let him Guide our lives…
Let’s Pursue the Kingdom
Let justice be the pursuit for all humanity and not American Vanity!
Then they will know we are His children by the love that we show…Let this be America
