The poem, titled “O America, Turn Back Before the Shadows of Sin Consume Your Soul”, is a passionate lament and urgent call for America to return to faith in God. It portrays a nation drifting from its spiritual roots, entangled in sin and blasphemous ideologies, and facing potential destruction as a result. The poem emphasizes the biblical promise that a nation whose God is the Lord will be blessed, contrasting this with America’s current state of pride, greed, and moral decline. It pleads for repentance, warning of the consequences of continued rebellion while offering hope through the Savior’s mercy and grace. The tone is both mournful and hopeful, urging the nation to humble itself, seek forgiveness, and be restored to divine favor before it’s too late.

O land of liberty, once bright and bold,
Your heart now wanders, your spirit grown cold.
The stars that once gleamed in your banner’s weave,
Now dim under shadows of truths we bereave.

Our Precious Savior, with arms open wide,
Calls back His people, yet we turn aside.
Sin’s chains entangle, ideologies blind,
Blasphemous whispers corrupt heart and mind.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
Whose hope is His mercy, whose strength is His Word.
But we’ve built altars to pride and to greed,
Sowing destruction in thought, word, and deed.

America, hear! The hour is late,
Repent and return, or seal your fate.
The wages of sin bring a ruin untold,
A nation unmoored, a fire grown cold.

Yet hope still remains where the humble will kneel,
Where broken hearts turn to the One who can heal.
O Savior, restore us, forgive our disgrace,
Revive us in truth, let us seek Your face.

For if we abide in Your love and Your light,
Our nation may rise from this perilous night.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord—
America, turn, and be whole, be restored!
