- Thousands of years
ago
- One bright and
cloudless day,
- God led His people
from bondage
-
For He would have His way.
- No more would Israel
be slaves
- For God had a
wonderful plan;
- He’d lead them forth
to Caanan
- To a milk and honey
land.
-
- Two hundred years
ago
- ‘Mid hate and
persecution,
- Another nation would
form
- A new land - God’s
solution.
-
- America, land of the
free,
- Blessed by God
above,
- Would be founded by
godly men -
- A sign of God’s
great love.
-
- A love that would
give His people
- And those who dared
to sail
- A land where freedom
reigns,
- Where God’s people
could safely dwell.
-
- But today this
land’s at risk,
- For there are people
here
- Who’d like to change
our country,
- Take our freedoms we
hold dear.
-
- Just as in the days
of old
- Where prophets the
message told,
- God’s word now warns
of danger
- When men are no
longer bold.
-
- Bold to take a
stand!
- For our country dare
to fight!
- To keep America
free!
- To stand for all
that’s right!
-
- We’ve left out first
love – Christ,
- Who gave us this
great land;
- We’ve turned to
lesser gods,
- For Him we no longer
stand.
-
- So now times are
getting rough,
- We’re seeing trouble
at its worst;
- Because we’ve turned
from truth
- And for Christ we no
longer thirst.
-
- On our knees we need
to go,
- Ask forgiveness for
our sin;
- Confess our need for
Jesus Christ
- And let Him reign
within.
-
- Give God his
rightful place once more,
- Put Him first in
everything;
- Then we’ll see a
change in America.
- Once again happy
days will reign!
