America Again

Carman


George Washington, Thomas Jefferson 
Samuel Adams, First Chief Justice John Jay 
Names synonymous with the spirit of our country 
Founding fathers of the U.S.A. 

Over 200 years ago they shook off the chains of tyranny from Great Britain 
By divine call 
Citing 27 biblical violations they wrote the Declaration of Independence 
With liberty and justice for all 

But something happened since Jefferson called the Bible the cornerstone 
For American liberty then put it in our schools as a light 
Or since "Give me liberty, or give me death," Patrick Henry said 
Our country was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ 

We eliminated God from the equation of American life 
Thus eliminating the reason this nation first began 
From beyond the grave I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead 
You need God in America again 

Of the 55 men who formed the Constitution 
Fifty-two were active members of their church 
Founding fathers like Noah Webster who wrote the first dictionary 
Could literally quote the Bible chapter and verse 

James Madison said, "We've staked our future on our ability to follow 
The Ten Commandments with all our heart" 
These men believed you couldn't even call yourself an American 
If you subvert the Word of God 

In his farewell address, Washington said, "You can't have national morality apart from religious principle," and it's true 
'Cause right now we have nearly 150,000 kids carrying guns 
To these war zones we call public schools 

In the '40's and '50's student problems were chewing gum and talking 
In the '90's, rape and murder are the trend 
The only way this nation can even hope to last this decade 
Is put God in America again 

The only hope for America is Jesus 
The only hope for our country is Him 
If we repent of our ways stand firm and say 
We need God in America again 

Abe Lincoln said, "The philosophy of the classroom in one generation 
Will be the philosophy of government of the next" 
So when you eliminate the Word of God from the classroom and politics 
You eliminate the nation that Word protects 

America is now number one in teen pregnancy and violent crime 
Number one in illiteracy, drug use, and divorce 
Everyday a new holocaust of 5,000 unborn die 
While pornography floods our streets like open sewers 

America's dead and dying hand is on the threshold of the Church 
While the spirit of Sodom and Gomorrah vex us all 
When it gets to the point where people would rather 
Come out of the closet than clean it 
It's a sign that the judgment of God is gonna fall 

If there's ever been a time to rise up Church, it's now 
And as the blood bought saints of the living God proclaim 
That it's time to sound the alarm from the Church house to the White House 
And say, "We want God in America again" 

I believe it's time for America to stand up and proclaim 
That one nation under God is our demand 
And send this evil lifestyle back to Satan where it came from 
And let the Word of God revive our dying land 

For Jesus Christ is coming back again in all His glory 
And every eye shall see Him on that day 
That's why a new anointing of God's power's coming on us 
To boldly tell the world you must be saved 

Because astrology won't save you, your horoscope won't save you 
The Bible says these things are all a farce 
If you're born again, you don't need to look to the stars for your answers 
'Cause you can look to the very One who made those stars 

History tells us time and time again 
To live like there's no God makes you a fool 
If you want to see kids live right 
Stop handing out condoms and start handing out the Word of God in schools 

The only hope for America is Jesus 
The only hope for our country is Him 
If we repent of our ways 
Stand firm and say 
We need God in America again 

We need God in America 
God in America 
God in America again
