America First

(Playing ~ a medley for America)

America first, not only in things material,
But in things of the spirit.

Not merely in science, invention, motors, skyscrapers,
But also in ideals, principles, character.

Not merely in the calm assertion of rights,
But in the glad assumption of duties.

Not flouting her strength as a giant,
But bending in helpfulness over a sick and wounded world
like a Good Samaritan.

Not in splendid isolation,
But in courageous cooperation.

Not in pride, arrogance, and disdain of other races and peoples,
But in sympathy, love, and understanding.

Not in treading again the old, worn, bloody pathway which ends inevitably
in chaos and disaster,

But in blazing a new trail along which, please God, other nations will follow
into the new Jerusalem where wars shall be no more.

Some day, some nation must take that path ~
unless we are to lapse into utter barbarism ~
and that honor I covet for my beloved America.

And so in that spirit and with these hopes,
I say with all my heart and soul,

"America First."

~ G. Ashton Oldham

America .....
return to love,
return to truth,
return to the foundations laid by your founding fathers,
return to righteousness,
return to your King !!

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ..."
~ Psalm 33:12a

"Righteousness exalteth a nation:
but sin is a reproach to any people."
~ Proverbs 14:34

God bless America,

My home, sweet home !
