For Our Nation Story

In September of 2012 the Lord gave me a song to write called, “For Our Nation.” Prior to me writing (or completing) this song, he led a music producer to contact me about having some of my songs professionally recorded in Nashville, TN. I was 62 years old at the time, and my voice had seen better days, so I immediately told him “no.” But then he wrote back and asked me if I had prayed about it. I had not, I am ashamed to say.

So, I prayed about it, and immediately the Lord started pouring Scripture verses and song lyrics in my mind which gave me the message that I was to go to Nashville and to record at least one song. And the Lord chose this song, “For Our Nation.” And so the producer and I worked on it together back and forth across the internet until we agreed upon a final rendition of the song. And then my husband and I made plans to go record the song.

A few days before we were to leave for Nashville I lost my voice. I could not talk or sing. It was gone. So I prayed about it and felt that the Lord was leading me to go on faith. So then I talked with my husband about it, and he agreed that that was what we should do. But right before I stood at that microphone to sing, I still had no voice. So, when the music began to play, I opened my mouth totally on faith, and the voice was there. Praise God!

After we recorded the song, then the Lord had me make a PowerPoint presentation with photos to go along with the message in the song, which is a biblical message from beginning to end, but which has a political message of sorts, too, but related to what the Scriptures teach regarding the events of these last days before the return of Christ. And I know that the Lord has me post this song a lot, but he has a message for all of us through this.

For, although this song was the only song he had me professionally record, the purpose of it is not for entertainment nor so that you can hear a great singing voice. The message that the Lord wants to convey through this song is found in the lyrics and in the pictures which go along with the lyrics, which detail some of America’s history, at least as far back as the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but which also includes JFK’s assassination, and 9/11/01, etc.

For all of these historical events play a major role in what has been happening politically in the USA, for the last 100 years, maybe, and how God has been using these historical events, some of them disasters and tragedies, to get the attention of the people of my nation to draw them to faith in Jesus Christ, or to call them back into pure fellowship with him. For so many have wandered so far away from God and need to return to him.

For Our Nation  

An Original Work / September 11, 2012

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.

Jesus Christ is gently calling

You to follow Him in all ways.

Trust Him with your life today.

Make Him your Lord and your Savior.

Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.

He will forgive you of your sin;

Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.

On our knees to God we’re praying,

Seeking God to give us answers

That are only found in Him.

God is sovereign over all things.

Nothing from His mind escaping.

He has all things under His command,

And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling

You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing

In our Lord, and interceding

For our nation and its people

To obey their God today.

He is our hope for our future.

For our wounds He offers suture.

He is all we need for this life.

Trust Him with your life today.
