An American Prayer

Verse:
God bless America,
Hold us in your hand.
We need your comfort,
To help us understand.
	God bless America,
	We turn to you.
	Your loving guidance,
	Will help to see us through. 

God bless America,
Bless the ones who died.
Help end the suffering,
Dry the tears we cried.
	God bless America,
	Bless us all you can.
	God bless America, again.

Chorus:
Is it an eye for an eye,
Or turn the other cheek?
Is it revenge,
Or justice that we seek?
Is it a time to kill,
Or inherit with the meek?
	Will we listen
	If You speak?

Verse:
God bless America,
Show your guiding light.
Lead us from tragedy,
Make our decisions right.
	God bless America,
	Bless us all you can.
	God bless America, again.
