Times are hard Lord upon our land,

I still envision your footprints in the sand,

While many of us are struggling, Hungry, Cold and  daily losing HOPE,

We are a struggling nation that right now can hardly even COPE,

People are losing their jobs, nest eggs, and children to war,

I envision you "JESUS" now carrying us all, Your two feet strongly  now walking across the ocean sands shore,

For you are our only hope through this all,

God Bless America we cry out unto you Gracious Heavenly Father  now we all do call!

For only with you Father shall we stand tall,

But until that time does come,

Its you Lord we seek to get our strength from,

God bless America and all the world,

Till we are unfurled,

Till we are all united as one,

Thy will for us all, Will be done!
