Independence Day-"In God we Trust"

I would like to share the lyrics of a song I wrote several years ago. I thought it would be appropriate this independence day.




IN GOD WE TRUST

BY SCOT ASHCROFT


(CHORUS)


THERE’ ONE THING I KNOW

WHEN I SEE THAT FLAG BLOW
I’M AN AMERICAN PROUD
AND THIS IS A MUST

THAT IN GOD, IN GOD I TRUST


AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU LIVE HERE

OUR FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES DEAR
IF YOU’RE AN AMERICAN PROUD
THEN THIS IS A MUST

THAT IN GOD, IN GOD YOU TRUST


UNITED WE STAND,

WON’T YOU PLEASE TAKE MY HAND?
IF WE’RE AMERICANS PROUD
THEN THIS IS A MUST

TOGETHER, IN GOD, IN GOD WE TRUST





They took prayer out of school
What happened to the golden rule?
Now violence abounds

On our kids’ school grounds




We’re a country that’s free
But we’re losing our liberty
What can we do?

Now let me ask you?





Our money says this
That in God we do trust
But is this the truth

I think it’s a must




Do we still believe?
Or have we lost that dream?
It almost seems

We’re too jaded for hope now to beam


(CHORUS)


Our sons and our daughters
Have shed their own blood

For freedom to reign
Don’t let it be now in vain




We honor them now
As they served us and how
They laid down their lives

The greatest of all sacrifice




Ask what can I do?
To serve my fellow man too
To make this land

A better place for me and for you




Why not now pray?
Stand up on this day
Say give me liberty now

Before they take it away

(CHORUS)


(ENDING)


WE’RE DIFFERENT IT’S TRUE
BUT AS LONG AS WE’RE RED, WHITE AND BLUE
THEN THIS IS A MUST

THAT TOGETHER IN GOD, IN GOD WE TRUST
