America, the Land We Love

Eddie Darrell Harris

America is the land we love
It was established from God above

Though the enemies come and try to destroy
It is God who gives us our joy

Though we fight and lose our great men a few
Our strength comes from God who makes
All things anew

In this last and bitter age
There is a world full of anger, hatred and rage

There are bombings, killings, and strife
But always remember the one who has promised us eternal life

Eddie Darrell Harris
