Open Our Eyes God

They kick God out of classrooms And evil walks right in Innocents are led to slaughter Before their lives can even begin Our jaws drop from the shock We are appalled by such a crime, But we voted for laws to kick god out To usher in such times I remember morning prayers in class And a hymn or two we'd sing We would join hands around the flagpole A give thanks for the grace he brings. This nation was founded on godly principals And his blessings poured out each day But we grew up trying it on our own And look at the troubles that come our way. You dont have to believe me And keep turning your head away But the proof is happening before our eyes And gets worse each passing day Theres now a number of innocent children, Who are sitting before Gods throne And hes wrapping his love around them Because this world has let them go. How much suffering must we endure What will it take to make things right We must allow God to rule our lives Til evil is banished from our sight. We can blame it on the monsters Or some will curse God for what was done But we should look real hard at our own direction If this battle is truly to be won
