                      ``First Place in the Heart''

                          (By June L. McNeely)

     Let's put GOD back in America, let HIM have first place in 
         our heart.
     Let's put GOD back in America and right now is the time to 
         start.
     Let us all stand together as a family hand in hand and pray 
         for GOD's mercy and for the healing of our land.

     HE has given us a country that is special to us all.
     Let's not bow to the enemy, but keep standing very tall.
     Let's put GOD back in America. This beautiful country we call 
         home.
     Put HIM in our homes and schools and all of our gathering 
         places.
     Then everyone in this world will see GOD's love in all our 
         faces.

     Put all of your trust in your HEAVENLY FATHER. He will all of 
         your burdens bear.
     HE will never leave you nor forsake you.
     HE has promised to always be there.
     HE will help you through each moment so all of your fears 
         will cease.
     Let's put GOD back in America and with HIS help live with 
         others in peace.
