America

AMERICA

America, come to your King, the King of Glory. 
America, move in his glory. 
America, do the will of the Father. 
America, I weep for you like I weep for Jerusalem. 
Return to me America, my love, my sister. 
America, return to the house of the Lord. Return to the house of the Lord.  
Beautiful America, return to the Lord. 
Allow his grace to be shed on you. 
Return, return, return.

Which Path to Take?

Which PATH? 

There is a way that seems right to a man but the end is the way of death.

Give careful consideration as to what path in life you choose. Paths are usually directed by choices that we make or because of a certain way of thinking. Guard your mind and heart. Allow God to teach you and direct your paths. The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom and guidance.
