I’m thankful for my country –
Land of the brave and free –
In which we stand together
In hope and liberty.
A land set free for worship
That we may lead our lives
In quietness and boldness
With all the strength God gives.
Still young among the nations
That span this finite earth,
Yet noble in its purpose,
Its founding, and its birth.
But freedom’s not sufficient
If people are not freed
From sin to serve the Savior,
And so, with God we plead:
“Lord, send us a revival,
Breathe life into Your own,
Then send them out to gather
The harvest to Your throne.
“Awaken souls in darkness
That they may live in light,
In faith and freedom striving
To serve You day and night.
“Awake our nation’s leaders
That they may understand
True justice and true freedom.
Lord, guide them with Your hand.
“O God, our King and Ruler,
We praise Your Name today
For freedom and salvation –
Revive our land we pray.”
