Under God

Half a century ago, two simple words
 Declared a truth that's planted in our hearts
 And every time the flag is raised
 We've been honored to repeat the phrase
 So the world will know we are
 Under God, America's been blessed.
 Under God, brought through every trial and test
 We are sheltered by the mercy He chose to give
 In privilege and abundance, this nation lives
 Under God, Freedom has survived
 Under God, we need to recognize
 We're dependent on His goodness
 Indebted to His care
 Maybe more than any people anytime or anywhere
 Still our only hope and prayer is Under God
 When we pledge allegiance now, it's Under God
 Those words have shaped the land that we hold dear
 Some insist it's not allowed
 To acknowledge that we need Him now
 But it has never been so clear
 Under God, America's been blessed
 Under God, brought through every trial and test
 We are sheltered by the mercy He chose to give
 In privilege and abundance, this nation lives
 Under God, Freedom has survived
 Under God, we need to recognize
 We're dependent on His goodness
 Indebted to His care
 Maybe more than any people anytime or anywhere
 Still our only hope and prayer Under God, Freedom has survived
 Under God, we need to recognize
 We're dependent on His goodness
 Indebted to His care Maybe more than any people anytime or anywhere
 Still our only hope and prayer Still our only hope and prayer is Under God
 Under God
