Story Behind The Song
I'm a former Navy guy and I just recently went to Hawaii for some R & R with my lovely bride and we visted Pearl Harbo and the Arizona Memorial...On the boat trip out there, these words just started flooding my heart: IF AMERICA PRAYS, AMERICA SHALL STAND...and it's almost prophetic to our country todayl...The bible tells us if we will repent from our wicked ways, that our Father in Heaven will hear us and heal our land...and the best part.........AMERICA SHALL STAND!!!

Lyrics
AMERICA SHALL STAND
Vs 1
To the ones who fight at sea
To the ones who fight on shore
We pray for you
May the Father shine His light
May he bless and keep you safe
In all you do
When you feel you?re all alone
May you find you?re not alone at all
For God is there
He?s everywhere
He?ll hear you when you call
Vs 2
To those who lost their lives
For the family?s pain and strife
We pray for you
May the Father shine His light
May He bless and give you peace
Through and through
When you feel you?re all alone
May you find you?re not alone at all
For God is there
He?s everywhere
He?ll hear you when you call
Chorus
If my people will humble themselves
And seek my face
If my people will all come together and pray
Then I will hear from Heaven and heal their land
If America prays
America shall stand
Bridge
I will be the one they can lean upon (From the mountains)
I will be the light that brings them home (To the prairies)
I will be the beacon that helps them find their way (To the ocean)
I will hear my children
When they PRAY!
