Miracles of America.

Heres a poem I made for vanguard:

Lehi knew there was a land.
Promised and free it would stand.
Nephi and Sam were righteous and good.
Lamen and Lemuel never really understood.

God commanded Nephi
To build a boat for Lehi
So he could take his family
To the great America free.

They built that boat with righteous hands
It was hard, but they got to the promised land.
Their accounts of them and their kin are in
A book called the Book of Mormon.

Is that not a miracle?

Then in 1492
Columbus sailed the ocean blue!
He took some people in his ships
Oh how he hoped and bit his lips.
Columbus wished and rubbed his hands.
Oh how he wanted to get to that land.

He thought he knew another way
To get to india in less days,
But those days turned into weeks
And the people were getting weak.

They were getting tired, so tired in fact,
That kill him they would if land they lacked!
Columbus prayed, oh how he prayed!
He knew only Gods help would save the day.

He waited and worried and worried and waited,
To see the land he anticipated,
Land ho land ho! Land ho land ho!
Thanks unto God! For he did bestow,
This land of hope and promise we know.

Is that not a miracle?

Then there was the Men Raised Up
Who were inspired and much tip-top
And with the Revaluation and all,
We needed them so we wouldn't fall.

The  Declaration of Independence I'm sure
Could not have the least bit long endured,
With out those men and without our God.
Nothing could happen without God!

"Success of the Declaration and the war
Was a miracle from our Father In heaven I'm sure!"
Said those Men raised Up
Who were much tip-top.

Is that not a miracle?

Then there was the Inspired documents
The constitution caused many laments
  But Franklin said
“If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice,
 is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? 
 I believe without His concurring aid
 we shall succeed in this political building
 no better than the building 
 of Babel.”

 So they all went home and prayed
They prayed for Heavenly Father's aid.

And I think they got what they did need
And that Heavenly Father did Help and did lead
And Inspired those men in such a way
For we have that Constitution up to this day.

Is that not a miracle?

Then there was a dark and sad apostasy,
But there was a boy named Joseph Smith, you see?
He was a truth seeker and sought a church that was true
He read a scripture then knew what to do
He wanted his questions understood,
So he went deep deep into the wood.

Satan tempted to make him fear
But Christ and His Father appeared
And restored the gospel unto him.
For it, mobs feathered him limb to limb.
And the saints endured from day to day
And a book was translated to show them the way.
The Book Of Mormon it was called
And Joseph himself knew it all
couldn't have been done without God.

Is that not a miracle?

Because of this gospel that was restored
By the utmost power of the Lord,
We can follow the teaching within it
And the righteous and free path will be lit.

Us In our day must follow that way
Us, Yes me and you, us TODAY
Must follow that pathway and surely Stay
On that path to true freedom, Don't throw it away,
Yes what a wonderful chance,
Don't throw it away!

Family is the basic unit
Of a strong society,
We have a family and must use it
Oh so very wisely.

We are all a part of one family
Our Father expects things of you and me
He wants us to help build a zion home.
He doesn't want others to feel alone.

He wants us to build strong family units
On this beautiful promised land
You have Common sense! Now tune it!
Don't worry God gives you his hand.

America is great because she is good
And if America ceases to be good,
America will cease to be great!
Please don't become full of hate.
For righteousness is the only gate,
For the USA to be great

For over 4,000 years this country has been
A place for promise and has been chosen
As a place of freedom for the Lords purposes
Its destined for financial resources.

The Lord is making an Investment in you
So you and I must get up and DO.
The Lord expects performance you see
And a good one at that,  so please

Take this journey of freedom with me.
The conscience of America we will be!
God will help us in this quest to be free
And through His miracles and His mercy,
We can fulfill our great responsibility.

We can be part of a miracle!
