In God we trust, the words rang true
From sea to shinning sea
Lifting praise to Him in love
Men knelt on bended knee.
Each day anew, it all began
With prayer for guiding light
For wisdom, and His hand on them
For decisions made upright.
For leadership, led by one
Much wiser than mankind
His guidance truly won the battles
Waged from hidden mines.
But as the years so quickly passed
Their love began to wane
With subtlety, desire soon left
To seek God’s holy name.
The peace once known by a nation fair
Was facing sudden change
It now saw certain chaos
As destruction took her aim
The warning rang through every home
Once blessed by safe abode
Fear soon reared its ugly head
Which way were they to go?
But as repentance of a nation
Fell upon her face
With blinders lifted from our eyes
Again, we knew Gods Grace.
America, must not forget
A nation will stand tall
If God is first in all we do
If not….we’ll surely fall.
The Spirit if America
Must dwell within each heart
God-given, strong and true
No man can e’er impart.
