The sonnet “One Nation Under God” expresses a fervent call for America’s renewal through faith in Jesus Christ. It laments the nation’s drift from its God-centered roots into selfishness and division, but holds hope that by embracing Christ’s love and truth, the country can be restored. The poem portrays Jesus as the guiding light and unifying force, urging the nation to return to His grace to heal, unite, and reclaim its greatness, culminating in a prayer for divine guidance to make America one nation under God again.

In lands where liberty’s bright banner flew,
A nation raised by faith in God’s own plan,
We’ve strayed to paths where selfish dreams accrue,
And lost the truth that made our glory grand.
Yet hope still calls, through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
His sacred name the light that leads us home,
His cross the sword to cut division’s cord,
His love the strength to build where we may roam.

When Christ, our Savior, reigns in every heart,
Our nation’s soul shall rise, restored, made whole,
One people bound, His grace our guiding chart,
His truth the fire to purify our goal.
O God, through Jesus, make us one again,
America, Your nation, sings amen.
