Lord you spoke into existence the heavens and the earthCreated nations, people and gave America birthSince 1776 America has been a free landOur forefathers recognized the creation of Your handMany prayers for America have reached your earsYou have kept her safe throughout the yearsYou have raised up leaders for our nationFor a season and a time them You did stationNow it is the year two thousand and fourAmerica needs your presence even more
America needs the Lord to heal our landPlease, O Lord, stretch out Your healing handWithout Your presence America would fallBecause of this unto You we do call
Since America's beginning, we have had many warsWe have lost many Americans, boys and girlsO Lord, don't let those deaths be in vainComfort their loved ones and heal their painFrom Massachusetts to Oregon stateUpon the prayers of Your people You do waitYour eyes roam to and fro throughout the countryTo show Yourself strong to those who pray to thee
You said if you shall ask you shall receiveDeliver America, O Lord, from those who do deceiveIn the troublesome days that lie aheadGive us day by day our daily breadAmerica is still under Your amazing graceLet us not forsake to seek Your faceA great awakening is what we needTo Your Word, O Lord, America must heedGreed and strife has a strong holdIn the land of the free and the home of the bold
