America, the Land We Love
Eddie Darrell Harris 1947 (Texas) – 2019 (Oklahoma)
America is the land we love
It was established from God above
Though the enemies come and try to destroy
It is God who gives us our joy
Though we fight and lose our great men a few
Our strength comes from God who makes
All things anew
In this last and bitter age
There is a world full of anger, hatred and rage
There are bombings, killings, and strife
But always remember the one who has promised us eternal life
Eddie Darrell Harris
