SONG LYRICS
UNDER GOD
by Pat Boone
(Just) three tiny wooden vessels
Sailed the vast uncharted seas,
On the beach, the weary Pilgrims
Fell exhausted to their knees.
"O, our God," they cried, "You've saved us,
By Your mighty outstretched hand!
We dedicate our lives here
In this new and wondrous land!"
(Chorus)
Under God
Under God
How could we exist apart from God
He saved us from each peril
And through ev'ry path we've trod
And we now can live in freedom
UNDER GOD!
The winter cold was brutal
And the war seemed all but lost
But Washington took courage
From the river he just crossed.
So he knelt at Valley Forge,
His prayer ascending in the chill
"O Lord, You promised liberty
If we would seek Your will."
(Chorus)
Under God
Under God
How could we exist apart from God
He saved us from each peril
And through ev'ry path we've trod
And we make our stand for freedom
UNDER GOD!
They came to Philadelphia
Our forefathers newly free,
To draft a Constitution;
But they couldn't quite agree.
Rose a wise old man named Franklin,
And he had just this to say-
"We need some help from God here-
My good brothers, let us pray!"
(Chorus)
Under God
Under God
How could we exist apart from God
He saved us from each peril
And through ev'ry path we've trod
And we make our stand for freedom
UNDER GOD!
Well lots of time has passed now,
And some people can't relate;
They don't like public worship
And they misuse "church and state."
But don't forget Tom Jefferson-
His words slice like a knife"
"We all owe our Creator-
Our liberty, our life!"
(Chorus)
Under God
Under God
How could we exist apart from God
He saved us from each peril
And through ev'ry path we've trod
And we now can pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisible,
With liberty
And justice for all-
UNDER GOD!
