2 Chronicles 7:14
I grew up loving
Jesus
and blessing the
USA—
With my classmates
every morning
I’d bow my head
and pray.
God Bless America we’d sing
with heartfelt awe
and pride
aware that God
Almighty
was our nation’s Holy
Guide
Our churches were
full of people
and from our homes
flags flew;
we saluted
veterans, and
respected leaders,
too.
We knew America
was beautiful,
“God shed His
grace on thee!”
then took that
grace for granted
and failed to bend
a knee.
The years have led
us far off course;
and faith in God
has waned—
Our leaders now
get less respect.
The Bible’s been
profaned.
In the shadow of
9/11
we live every day.
Many hearts are
downcast;
many folks have
lost their way.
So I’m praying for
revival—
We need it
desperately!
Let us promise to
follow God
with true
sincerity.
When we return to
follow Him
He’ll restore His
loving grace.
From sea to
shining sea, our Lord
will shine again
His Face.
Oh, come and join
your prayers to mine,
let’s do it every
day.
Ask God to heal
this troubled land
and vow to live His
way.
