AMERICA
By Susi A. Meredith

It rained today and though the earth was thirsty
We complained anyway. When will we learn?
To those in need we shake our heads and say, "Oh what a shame!"
Then turn them away, Oh when will we learn?
To be thankful for His goodness and the mercy He has shown us
When will we learn? Oh, when will we learn?

America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And still you turn and follow other gods
Oh, when will we see?
America the beautiful His judgement's drawing near
It won't be long before your song will fade and disappear

In our own land there's hungry children dying
While the stranger is well fed. When will we learn?
And here we sit in cozy kitchens
Just taking it for granted He'll supply our daily bread.
Oh, when will we learn?
To be thankful for His goodness and the mercy He has shown us
When will we learn? Oh, when will we learn?

America, America, He'll shed His wrath on thee
If you refuse to hear and keep His Laws
His grace you will not see
America the beautiful you'll reap what you have sown
But if you'll turn your heart towards Him, His mercy will be shown

For He has paid, with His own blood He paid
Your penalty for sin
If you'd obey, if you'd obey His Word
He'd bless you once again

So won't you turn, oh, won't you turn back?
And open up your ears
You would learn, you would learn that
He's loved you all these years
That's why He's blessed you all these years
But He has warned you all these years
