Down On My Knees I Get Down To Pray

Down on my knees I get down to pray
My heart is full of pain
For this nation where I live
Is no longer now the same.

Babies are being murdered
Before they are even born
This evil in this nation
Has now become the norm.

Churches no longer fear the Lord
The truth they do not tell
Preachers spewing out their lies
Sending many souls to hell.

Christian prayer is removed from the schools 
What future has our children today 
Being dumbed down with common core 
We must begin to pray.

Why is man in this nation 
Removing our God given rights
Attacking all Christian principles
For these today we must fight.

Our freedoms we must never surrender 
Even though we may be a few
With Jesus the God of this nation 
There's nothing the devil can do.
