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!
