God save our country!  Please raise our hopes and diminish our fears.
God please keep us strong through all the death and tears.
Help us Lord to be there for everyone both big and small.
Because we don't know when anyone of us might fall.

God save our country!  Please keep our land safe and free.
Help us Lord to be all that you would have us to be.
Lord, touch our sick ones and lift their spirits too.
God please direct us to do as you would have us to do.

God save our country!  Please protect our little ones.
Let them grow freely and touch their sweet young souls.
Send your angels down from heaven to keep them laughing and happy too.
They are our future, so they need all our love to see them through.

God save our country!  Please be with our leaders as they make decisions everyday!
God help us to never be indifferent because we know Lord that is not your way.
God we pray that you will heal our souls and keep the love for our sisters and brothers.
Please help us to keep our empathy in our hearts always for each other!
