God Bless America

Let America rise like hope again
Let America sing like Milton (Paradise Lost & Regained)
God bless America to bless the world
Like the covenant with Abraham
The blessings we receive is a trust
Covenantal awe and power
Joy, caring, and wonder
So many human links in a golden chain
That need to shine for Jesus, my King:
Who showed the first shall be last
He, who hung the stars into space,
Bent low, with towel, to wash Judas' feet
And Peter's, one to rise and one for defeat
God Bless America, or else we perish
Jerusalem weeps for the LORD now
O Jerusalem ... the "set-apart ones" know
The light on the Hill, Golgotha no less
Korea and Arabia ... others must be blessed
