For Our Children We Cry - updated after Obama's Speech

For Our Children We Cry

God has given us freedom;

Freedom to live in Him.
But He does not give freedom;
For us to live in sin.

Men have died and men have cried;
For freedoms now denied.
Sin resides and will not hide;
For our children we cry.

God says protect, not neglect.
There little hearts from harm.
But sin has reigned and profaned;
And left our children unarmed.

Return to God, leave sins sod;
Lest America die.
If we repent with knees bent;
God's mercy will apply.

after Obama's Speech:  

I would like to let you know that when I wrote this poem it was and is about the spiritual battle of heart and soul.

In this poem when I wrote the quote "our children unarmed"  it means without scripture and moral teachings.  Teaching that guides our children to follow the ways of God. 

God's Word helps arm our children against teachings that are damaging to them, our homes and our country.  

Our children need Jesus.  I do not believe in arming children with guns.  I believe in arming our children with truth. 

 I do believe in owning guns as Americans 

but not in the hands of children.

God teaches the way of blessing to America through these Verses verse

2Choronicles 7:14
 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
 Deuteronomy 11:27-28b
 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD
