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 «e 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 '40s and '50s student problems were chewing gum and talking

In the '90s, rape and murder are the trend

The only way this nation can even hope to last this decade

Is to put God in America again

Chorus:

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 schoolroom in one generation

Will be the philosophy of the 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

Every day 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 the sign that the judgement 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 send the alarm from the church house to the White House

And say, «We want God in America again»

I believe it’s time 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 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

Chorus:

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

(repeat)

We need God in America

God in America

God in America again
