In God We Still Trust

Aaron and I spent our afternoon practicing a new song to sing at a revival tomorrow night, and I want to share the lyrics of this song with you. The lyrics are so moving to me as both a Christian and as an American.

In God We Still Trust
Written By: Rob LeClair, Bill Nash, Kim Nash
Performed By: Diamond Rio

You place your hand on His Bible when you swear to tell the truth.
His name is on our greatest monuments and all our money, too.
When we pledge allegiance, there's no doubt where we stand.
There's no separation. We're one nation under Him.

In God we still trust!
Here in America, He's the one to turn to
Every time the going gets tough.
He is the source of all our strength, the one who watches over us.
Here in America, in God we still trust!

Now there are those among us who want to push Him out,
Erase His name from everything this country's all about.
From the schoolhouse, to the courthouse, they're silencing His word.
And now it's time for all believers to make our voices heard!!

In God we still trust!
Here in America, He's the one to turn to
Every time the going gets tough.
He is the source of all our strength, the one who watches over us.
Here in America, in God we still trust!
Here in America, in God we still trust!

Our country is a wonderful nation of freedom, but the more God is being taken out of our country, the farther our nation falls. Want evidence?? Just watch the news, walk around the mall, turn on your television, or - I hate to say it after the recent shooting - go to the movies. A couple of Sundays ago leaving church after the evening service, I turned on the radio to what I thought was a family station only to be greeted by a vulgar commercial about contraceptives. What is happening to our nation that I can't even turn on the local country radio station without wondering what I'll hear?

I thought after 9/11 that America had gotten the wake-up call needed, but I fear that 11 years later, we're worse than ever before. Do you recall what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? It honestly scares me when I read that story and then look at our society today. God destroyed the two cities for their sinful ways. What about Ninevah?? God sent Jonah to warn them that He would destroy them if they did not repent and turn to Him. How many warnings do we get as a nation before God allows us to crumble?

Have you read the studies where theologians question the existence of America in the end times? I'm not a Biblical expert, but the depth of research gone into those studies does make me wonder what will happen to our nation over time. But I'll tell you one thing I don't wonder about: where I'll be for eternity. I want to do my part here on earth to give other people the same certainty I have about Heaven. God needs Christians to take a stand not only for America's sake, but for Heaven's sake!! He needs us to stand firm in our faith in everything we do and everywhere we go.
