Country RE-Birthing
The original name of this poem is Country Birthing. However since people in politics and many in the political climate of the church have been trying to change, overwrite, rewrite what is written. We no longer build a little here a little there as described in the book of Isaiah, the prophet. (see Chapter 28) The scripture God made it a "rule". So, with that said, I offer you this poem from my book, "Climbing Higher/A Life In Poetry". A link will be provided at the bottom if you would like to order your own copy or get one for a friend, a teenager, a pastor, etc. It is essentially a country being "born-again".
Country Birthing
Take some men and women
Determined to follow and acknowledge God
While on this earth they live and die
In humility praying, seeking and following their cause
Thy would be willing to give up
Many or all their leisure's and comforts of home
To begin again in a new land
Few if any had ever roamed
A scary deal would meet them here
Unbeknownst to them till a later date
Some would call it chance or luck
The ones who fought, called it fate
To give up ones own life
To see the promise of their God for others
For the ones who'll live down the line
Unselfish in their thoughts to others
They lived, but died to see the freedom
To not do as they themselves would think
Unless they first counseled God's Word
In relationship with Him, the link
Acknowledge the one True God, in all His power
His majesty is plainly seen here
From lowlands to mountains and beyond
The bear, the eagle, and the deer
To stand for something and not falter
Even in the face of sure defeat
They trusted God in His calling
Refusing to sound the call of retreat
Instead the enemy, we'll call him man
Sounds his own retreat to bow to God's command
Our weapons of prayer and worship are mighty
As we take back our dieing land
Lift up your voice and repent
Say to God, Father we relent
From this evil we have allowed
Our forefathers lives are NOW well spent
Their devotion to a mighty God
Who was well able to save and give victory
but only as they were led by You
Then You gave them OUR destiny
The land our SOLDIERS and others fought for
Now belong to us today
Humble us we look to You and return
The land of the free, the brave, the U.S.A.
