America the beautiful
from sea to shining sea
Remembers this day in sorrow,
thinking of war, heartache, and tragedy.

The lives of men and women,
once so innocent and free
were destroyed in just moments,
by an uncaring and evil enemy.

Twin towers that once stood
emblems of our Nation's trade,
fell to the ground as rubble,
in the land of the free and brave.

Children cried in hurt and sorrow
for a parent who did not come home,
while men and loved ones searched for bodies,
in massive webs of steel and stone.

People who had never spoke
one unto another,
were seen as they embraced and wept,
while watching the innocent suffer.

God is still our Father
who sees each and ever tear,
He Spirit moves across this country
bringing comfort for each fear.

Will America see her need
for returning to her God?
Will she bow her knee in prayer,
in this land which we now trod?

There is no real hope for the future
or protection from danger and the foe,
If God's people will not be humble
and seek His face for every woe.

Land of plenty, land of the free
who gives support and help to others,
Now stands in need of prayers
from the world's other sisters and brothers.

United with God, America can stand
divided she will fall,
So we must depend upon God's Word
and make Jesus Lord over all.

There will come a day
when peace shall forever reign
So hold on to God's loving hand,
for there is power in His blessed holy name.
