God Bless America

Growing up and still today, I believe that America is amazing and a great force for good. As far as countries are concerned, America is still the greatest force for good in the world. America is good and people are good. We must believe this principle. We cannot give up hope. People are on the whole good. We can disagree, but at the end of the day we are all God's children. We must trust that God will deliver us to better times where people more fully trust in each other. We must believe that God's children will love one another. We must believe that God will continue Bless America.....

Isn't that a phenomenal song by the way....

Let's look at this brilliant song and what it means for us today, line by line. We will just go over the chorus in this manner although the whole song is fantastic.

God Bless America
God bless this great country and these people that are free. Help us to make wise decisions.

Land That I Love
I/We love America. It is the greatest country on the Earth. It's freedoms are spectacular and there are absolutely wonderful people here.

Stand Beside Her
Stand beside this country and help those in this country to make good choices. We know that if we glorify you and turn to you that this nation will be a force for good. We know that if we turn away from you that we can easily lose our way.

And Guide Her
Guide our decisions. Show us a path that leads towards your glory. Help us to use our consciences and look out for other people.

Through the Night
Guide us at all times especially when we can't see correctly. There are many people in this country currently that can't see things properly. Please help them to see that all people are good.

With the Light from Above
Use your incredible light and power to show us the way. Show us especially in the dark times. Show us with that light how many wonderful people there are. Allow us to always see the positive.

From the Mountains
Bless us in the highest places and in our greatest moments

To the Prairies
Bless us in our open places and in our middling moments

To the Oceans White With Foam
Bless us in the water, bless our turbulent moments, bless the creatures in the seas, bless our ability to notice your great creations in tremendous detail. Let us appreciate these great things in nature you provide.

God Bless America
Thank you for blessing this country and continue to do so

My Home Sweet Home
This is the home that you have chosen for me. Help me to be thankful for you choosing such a tremendous place for me to live. Help me to realize that there is a reason you have chosen me to live in this place at this time, with these people. Help me to be thnakful for that and realize my purpose.

That is kind of how I think of it anyway! There is a reason we live here at this time and we should be thankful for it. Always try to remember and focus on the good people. Remember that God has blessed and will continue to bless the United States of America.
