Oh, America! In goodness is your greatness found

Let's make America good again
Not just with our words
Not just with our pens
But with true deeds
Let us, as real Americans should
Act, as we once did
As decent, upright, righteous men

For our national sins
Let us truly mourn
And in repentance once again
Let us guard the innocent
With all our might
With all our laws
To serve and protect
Both the born
And the unborn

Let us bow our hearts before our God
And never bow to any other
As we stand in faith
Side by side
With our patriot brothers
As we labor together
As one people
In service to all freedom-lovers

Oh, America!
In goodness is your greatness found
In goodness will God's grace abound
And to your children peace redound
