God Bless America

God, we made you leave our classrooms.
We were not allowed to pray.
To worship you or speak of you
in any outward way.

Forgive us for our negligence!
We're glad to have you back.
We're sorry that it took an act
of terrorist attack.

We ask, please bless our country
with the freedom you stand for.
Be with us in the future
as we go into this war.

We need you more than ever
and we call upon your name.
To find the ones who did this
and to let them take their blame.

Help us as we crush them.
Give us strength, the days ahead.
Give comfort to the families
of the many thousands dead.

Give hope to all who're lacking.
Thru this, let your light shine bright.
Bring vict'ry to America,
in dealing with this plight.
