Take a stand

V1
When this land was founded
our young men died for us
They gave their lives for freedom
and were victorious
Now they want to take away our right
to pray in this great land
But Jesus paid the price for us
let's take the upperhand

Chorus
Take a stand
Take a stand
For Jesus is at hand
Don't let them take away our rights
to pray in this great land
Take a stand
Take a stand
for Jesus is at hand
For all the world to see and hear
Let's finally take a stand

V2
Don't let them take away our life
as a child of Christ
To pray in church or in our homes
don't let them take our rights
For Jesus bought them with his blood
when he died upon that tree
so take a stand for Jesus
so our country will stay free

Repeat chorus

V3
Now one day our children
Will wonder what is prayer
Our country will forbid it
like it was never there
they'll spy on us from satellites
and jail us if we dare
To try and teach our children
there is such a thing as prayer

Repeat Chorus
