The topic of patriotic songs came up recently. A suggestion was made to sing God Bless America at last Wednesday's IGNITE worship. The topic got me thinking about how I would pray to God about the country where I live. The following is the product of that thinking:
Lord, Bless America
I come before you now with a nation on my heart
And I lift my voice to pray
Lord, Bless America
I am looking to the sky
Long before the fireworks start
And I cannot help but cry
Lord bless America
Please stand beside her,
Lord, please guide her
This nation I call home
From the west coast
To the east coast
And wherever I may roam
From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
May Christ's death set men free
