In God We Trust
 
"In God We Trust," the words rang true
from sea to shining sea.
Lifting praise to Him in love,
they 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
was facing sudden change.
It now saw certain chaos,
as destruction took her aim.

The warning rang in every home,
once blessed by safe abode,
Fear soon reared its ugly head,
which way were we to go?

But as repentance of a nation
fell upon our face,
The blinders lifted from our eyes.
Again, we knew God's grace.

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