| In God We Trust |
| They are on our nation's Seals and Currency. But, are those same words Found in our lives, for others to see? You know, then, as well as I, It goes like this, "In God We Trust." But, it seems that the only time We really say it is when we feel we must. It is only when Our country is in need That these few words Become, once again, our earnest creed. You say No! It is not really that way. Then, let's think and examine. We say them so often with tears streaming, When there is death, drought, and famine. But, what of its use In our everyday life? Can it be only heard when We are full of Anger, Pain and Strife? Is it at the threat or time of war, When we find ourselves crippled by Fear For the lives of so many, That we then want God to be near ... So that He would be Watching and hear us As we say, so desperately, "In God We Trust"? But for this nation, I do solemnly pray. Father, may we wake up and realize We need to live those words every day! |
