AMERICA! AMERICA! GOD MEND THINE EV'RY FLAW Robert Anning Bell - Mary in the House of Elizabeth (Mary and Elizabeth sewing and mending during three month visit!) America the Beautiful is one of my favorite patriotic songs because it gracefully weaves together noble religious sentiments with a humble pure patriotism. One of my favorite lines in the song is: "God mend thine ev'ry flaw. Confirm thy soul with self-control, Thy liberty in law." As the saying goes, "Nobody's perfect"... same too with organizations, groups, families, communities, nations. America has flaws. People of good will need to try and 'mend them'.But one flaw surely stands out - as more than a mere "flaw"; abortion, virtually on demand (that is, no reason or rationale need be given), literally up to the ninth month. The current law of the land foisted upon us by neglectful judges is an "unjust law"; more than a flaw! When we sing the prayer line "God mend thine ev'ry flaw", we should remember our greatest flaw; an unjust law. The hollow and meaningless slogan "freedom of choice" is a 'supposed liberty' which needs to be curtailed by a just law.The soul of America is sorely weakened, in large part by the deadly wound of killing its own unborn children. Its soul will be strengthened and confirmed, when a just law in the land protects the innocent unborn in the womb.Sing and pray for unborn souls and just laws!America! America! May God thy gold refine Till all success be nobleness, And ev'ry gain divine. Visit the website: Unborn Word Alliance Visit the blog version of: Unborn Word of the day |
Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
