America
AGAINST all odds,
By God's mercy and grace,
Here I now stand.
MALIGNED, demonized,
and criticized,
But here I stand.
EXCEPTIONALISM has weakened;
My moral leadership has waned,
But here I stand.
RIGHTEOUSNESS holds my hands,
And God's mercy embraces me;
So here I stand.
IMPERFECT and flawed,
but here I stand.
Christ is exalted in spite of
my adversities. Yet I stand.
ASSURANCE remains through faith
in God; and here, I forever stand.
