New York City Vacation Packages | A Great Holiday Gift
The Statue of Liberty
Enlightening the World with charity
A beacon of light, hope, and clarity
A gift of friendship from France
An ally who embraced us taking a chance
To battle the British and our hearts encourage
Today by our foreign policy, this ally we disparage
Yet the Statue of Liberty remains aglow brightly
A universal symbol of freedom and democracy
A monument of cherished national glory
Dedicated on October 28, 1886 proudly
Designated as a National Monument in 1924
Opening to immigrants abroad freedom’s door
Restored for her centennial on July 4, 1986
A pillar commemorating truth and justice
25 windows in the lady’ crown
Represent gemstones found on the earth
To the gem of freedom God gave birth
Igniting hope within the hearts of humanity
Heaven’s rays shining over the world
Christ’s revelation beaming out through His Word
The seven rays of the Statue’s crown
Remind us of countless souls who will bow down
Across the seven seas and continents
Putting in Christ the Savior their confidence
The tablet which the Statue holds in her left hand reads
“July 4th, 1776″ - the date of American Independence
Which in actuality was all about divine dependence
Upon Almighty God who helped us the underdog
Overthrow the tyranny of Great Britain and the King
The battle cry of the American Revolution told everything
“No King but King Jesus!” This was our anthem
To Christ Jesus alone we pledged allegiance
Entreating help from heaven, this was our brilliance
Sadly and ironically, today we have become the tyrant
Taking our military abroad to oppress the less fortunate
Change regimes and rhetorically justify our means
While we torment the innocent and profit handsomely
Accumulate more oil reserves to gain economically
Exert our global control sovereignly internationally
As if we have become a law and God unto ourselves
Lord God above break us before we abuse anyone else
Relight our flaming torch in purity and remove our perversity
Open our arrogant, greedy eyes to clearly see
That our current foreign policy is causing more hostility
Increasing our enemies and taking us deeper into depravity
Awake us to the cruel consequences and sordid severity
With which our political leaders maneuver for personal gain
And falsely use governmental powers and God’s holy name
Arise mighty God and let not liberty and truth be neglected
Let all deception and evildoers within government be detected
Conquer Christ Jesus over profiteering peddlers of fear
Expose their lies, betrayal, and selling of this war on terror
Uncover their obstruction of justice publicly before all who care
Let them not in pretense patriotically wave our flag in the air
Neither tolerate them to receive unwarranted fanfare
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
The people of God committed to truth in the land
Our mighty woman with flaming torch in hand
Welcoming immigrants from afar to this great band
To embrace the cause of liberty and live under command
One nation under God to whom we lift up holy hands
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
Emma Lazarus you wrote it well and need say no more
The Statue of Liberty is an anachronism in America today
As America’s leaders misuse their power and seek to play
Purport piety, moralize what they claim to be morality
Fighting wars without end as they maximize their military
American troops follow orders blindly exercising bravery
Trusting in the Commander in Chief who leads us foolishly
Deeper into enemy lands trying to nation build and take a stand
Not wisely counting the cost nor picking our battles
Sometimes we even support repressive Third World dictators
The cry of the French Revolution, “Liberté, égalité, fraternité,”
Is no longer official policy in the U.S.A., just merely history
As it cleverly uses its ideology in duplicity to benefit itself freely
The Statue of Liberty is now a reminder of American hypocrisy
