The words rang true,
From sea, to shining sea.
Lifting praise to Him in love
Each knelt on bended knee.

Each day anew, it all began
With prayer for guiding light.
For wisdom, and His hand on them
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,
Soon faced sudden change.
She now saw sudden chaos,
As destruction took her aim.

The warnings rang in every home,
Once blessed with safe abode,
Fear soon raised it's ugly head,
Which way were we to go?

But as repentance of a nation,
Fell upon its face.
The blinders lifted from our eyes,
Once more, we knew God's Grace.

America, must not forget,
This nation will stand tall,
If God is first in all we do,
If not... we'll surely fall.
