I Dreamed I Saw America On Her Knees lyrics

I dreamed I saw America on her knees She knelt in prayer with humble outstretched hands Last night I fell asleep sittin' in my favorite chair I had read the evenin' paper news of trouble everywhere Evil spread throughout the nation like a dark cloud overhead Crime increasing faith descreasing people saying God is dead Then I saw a great revival spreading like a mighty wind From every city town and village starting first in the hearts of men Every church bell started ringing every Christian took their stand And people learnt to love each other And the great and the small walked hand in hand I dreamed I saw America on her knees She knelt in prayer with humble outstretched hands I dreamed that God in heaven heard her plea And with tender love reached down and healed our land
