ONE NATION UNDER GOD  ~  Words and Music by Ran Birkins


When we were kids our teachers would lead us,
standing tall beside each desk, hands over our hearts.
In unison we pledged our allegiance,
sometimes stumbling over words,
not understanding certain parts,
never knowing just how richly we’d been blessed.




Red, white and blue, the United States of America;
one nation under God!
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,
one nation under God!




In history, we studied gallant heroes,
valiant patriots, fearless; some nameless, some famed.
In des’prate times, when freedom cried, "Who’ll go?"
Volunteers, courageous, brave,
boldly charged into harm’s way,
then the Stars and Stripes across their caskets draped!



Red, white and blue, the United States of America;
one nation under God!
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,
one nation under God!



Praise God our founding fathers knew
who to trust!
Praise God the Bill of Rights includes
freedom to worship as we choose.
