THE NEW SCHOOL PRAYER<BR>This was written by a teen in Bagdad, Arizona.<BR>This is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!<P>Now I sit me down in school<BR>Where praying is against the rule<BR>For this great nation under God<BR>Finds mention of Him very odd.<BR>If Scripture now the class recites,<BR>It violates the Bill of Rights.<BR>And anytime my head I bow<BR>Becomes a Federal matter now.<BR>Our hair can be purple, orange or green,<BR>That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.<BR>The law is specific, the law is precise.<BR>Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.<BR>For praying in a public hall<BR>Might offend someone with no faith at all.<BR>In silence alone we must meditate,<BR>God's name is prohibited by the state.<BR>We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,<BR>And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.<BR>They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.<BR>To quote the Good Book makes me liable.<BR>We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,<BR>And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.<BR>It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,<BR>We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.<BR>We can get our condoms and birth controls,<BR>Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.<BR>But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,<BR>No word of God must reach this crowd.<BR>It's scary here I must confess,<BR>When chaos reigns the school's a mess.<BR>So, Lord, this silent plea I make:<BR>Should I be shot;<BR>My soul please take!<P>Amen<P>If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, " if you are ashamed of me," I will be ashamed of you before my Father." Not ashamed Pass this on . . . only if you mean it. Yes, I do Love God. He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Phil 4:13 <BR>
