Story behind the song
Abraham Lincoln said,"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God."
A century later, America began its campaign against God by removing prayers from School - that was the day that Christians 'went to the back of bus'. Since then, violent crime in America has risen 1000%, the divorce rate over 100%, the death of unborn infants is shrugged at, and drug and alcohol addictions are at an all time high. Is this a coincidence? Insanely enough, in America today, jackhammers are busy removing any trace of God from its national buildings and monuments.
The Bible's statistics will tell you this: No nation in the history of civilization has ever separated itself from God and survived. It is high time Americans everywhere turn their hearts back to Jesus and make the great country of the United States of America the 'One Nation under God' that it once was. This birthright cries out from everywhere around the earth where the blood of our fathers was shed for this purpose. Americans need to give their whole heart to Jesus today! For these concerns, this song is a commemoration.
Lyrics
Oh, America, where are your hearts today?
What sacrifice your fathers gave for you,
Oh, America, do you remember them?
They gave their blood, gave their all for you.
Your history's no mystery,
On how you came to be,
The weary sailed the oceans with a dream,
A hope for land where one could stand,
For Christ and still be free,
Not just for them, for all humanity,
In sixty-two the children grew,
To see a different way,
America, and what it was, hasn't been the same,
The Father's Words can still be heard,
Though the courthouse walls today,
Have felt the saws remove the laws,
But you can still hear them say,
America, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He will lift you up to new hope above,
And make everything alright.
Turn your hearts, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He gave you His all, there's no need to fall,
As a nation from His sight.
America, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He will heal your land, He will help you stand,
In the presence of His light.
Turn your hearts, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He will build you up, freely give His love,
He will keep you by His side.
The nations of the earth still come,
For the Words of Life today,
They see the Father's words are cast away,
Is this really what new America,
Will do to fix the day?
If you could ask for your fathers back,
You would still hear them say,
Turn your hearts, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He will lift you up to new hope above,
And make everything alright.
Turn your hearts, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He gave you His all, there's no need to fall,
As a nation from His sight.
America, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He will heal your land, He will help you stand,
In the presence of His light.
Turn your hearts, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He will build you up, freely give His love,
He will keep you by His side.
Turn your hearts, turn your hearts back to Jesus,
He will lift you up to new hope above,
And make everything alright.
Turn your hearts, turn your hearts back to Jesus.
