From the recording AMERICA RETURN TO ME
Lyrics
AMERICA RETURN TO ME
America – land of freedom
How wonderful was your beginning
You were mine – my very own
Your foundation was built on me
O America – land of blessing
A shining city – on a hill
You were mine, my very own
Why have you - turned away
America – you have fallen
Your sins have reached the heavens
America – you have fallen
Your sins have reached the heavens
Return to me – and I will forgive you
Return to me – I will heal your land
If you my people will humble yourselves and pray
I will hear from heaven
I will bless again – return to me
Ohhhh – return to me
America – I am calling
You to turn – return to me
You are mine – my very own
My arms are open wide
O America – land of blessing
A shining city – on a hill
You were mine, my very own
Why have you - turned away
America – you have fallen
Your sins have reached the heavens
America – you have fallen
Your sins have reached the heavens
Return to me – and I will forgive you
Return to me – I will heal your land
If you my people will humble yourselves and pray
I will hear from heaven
I will bless again – return to me
Ohhhh – return to me
