Tears are flowing from my eyes.
The pain I feel...I cannot hide.
My heart is breaking from within.
Oh Lord, please save us from our sins.
The world has chosen it's own way.
To live a life of moral decay.
Corrupted by it's lusts and greed.
In worldly passions, it continually feeds.
Crime and violence will prevail...
In rejecting God's rules...we will fail.
Health and restoration can only come...
By trusting in God's only Son.
So let us now join hands and voice.
To sing His praise and make a choice.
Obedience to His will, can show.
In God we trust...to make us whole.
Let freedom reign within our land.
United in God's strength, we'll stand.
The power of Jesus will bring relief.
To restore our country to a nation of peace.
GOD BLESS THE USA

The Wayne Street United Methodist Church has stepped up to give devotions and prayers for hearts and souls of residents at two local nursing homes. The Glory Gospel Group has volunteered their Gospel Ministry every month since 2003, it had saddened me to know that they could not count on anyone to come in and spread God's love or his word to those who can not get out or give back nothing but gratitude.
The WSUMC & their Mission Committee has volunteered to be there for the two local nursing homes.
If you live in or near St. Mary's, please show them your gratitude by visiting one of their worship services, if you do not attend a Church, give them a try or if you have your own church, send them and email or a card and thank them for what they are doing in the community. I am sincerely grateful that the WSUMC will give much needed "in home" devotions.
