This afternoon I noticed that one of my friends on Facebook had posted the song "In God We Still Trust" and the story behind it, asking others to continue to post it. It brought back a memory of when Diamond Rio had first sung the song. They played it at a concert in Las Vegas and immediately received a standing ovation. They decided to record it because of the feedback they were getting, but radio stations refused to play it because it was not "politically correct." I am proud to say that 102.1 WDRM, the country station in Huntsville, AL, played the live version anyways and encouraged people to buy it and spread the story. I remember distinctly sitting in the car the first time the story came out and WDRM played this song. I find it very interesting that radio stations refused to play it despite the obvious demand for the song. Of course, I am not sure if the response today to the song would be the same as the concert in 2005, when no doubt 9/11 was still fresh on the minds and hearts of our nation. Pray for America, that truly in God we would still trust!
You place your hand on His Bible, when you swear to tell the Truth
His name is on our greatest Monuments, and all our money too,
And when we Pledge allegiance, there's no doubt where we stand,
There is no separation, we're one Nation under Him.
Chorus:
In God We Still Trust
Here in America
He's the one we turn to every time
The goin' gets rough
He is the source of all our Strength
The One who watches over us
Here in America
In God We Still Trust
Now there are those among us, who want to push Him out,
And erase His name from everything, this country's all about,
From the Schoolhouse to the Courthouse, they're Silencing His Word,
Now it's time for all Believers, to make our Voices heard.
In God We Still Trust,
Here in America
He's the one we turn to every time
The goin' gets rough
He is the source of all our Strength
The One who watches over us
Here in America
In God We Still Trust
Here in America
Here in America
Here in America,
In God We Still Trust
Here in America,
In God We Still Trust
Here in America
